Something I learned from this unit was that you didn’t have to check for a pulse when performing CPR.
A key takeaway from the practical CPR unit was learning how to properly perform CPR and not hurt the person being given CPR.
This unit connects with the nutrition unit because bad cardiovascular health results in either a stroke or a heart attack.
Core Competency Reflection
Communication is important because if you don’t tell the person(s) helping you what to do, you can’t effectively save the person you are giving CPR to.
Personal awareness and responsibility are very important when performing CPR because yo need to make sure there are no dangers in the general vicinity. If you aren’t self aware, you could risk hurting yourself or the person you are giving CPR to.
Critical thinking is important when performing CPR because you need to be able to react quickly to certain situation.
Personal and social health are important because you need to have friends to have good mental and physical health.
