Something I learned about was what a Naloxone kit is. A Naloxone kit helps people that overdose all you have to do is fill up the needle then inject it into their meaty part of the arm, their thigh or even their butt cheek. The CPR was helpful for me as I forgot how to check if their breathing or not, so it was a helpful reminder to put my cheek above their mouth to see if I am feeling their breathing and put my finger below their neck to see if their heart is beating. One thing I did not find out about at all was that it’s a law now that people who overdose can’t be arrested for using or having drugs. This makes a lot more sense to me as it will help save a lot of lives. These things are helpful to me or will be helpful to me if ever need to do anything for someone who is chocking, can’t breathe or overdosing.

Critical and Reflective Thinking Competency Reflection

I am able to analyze my own beliefs and consider views that do not fit with them. The reason I am able to do this is that i am good at critical thinking when it comes to what another person might feel or want. I usually do not judge right away on a person as if their beliefs counter mine that is their opinion and their allowed to have one.

I can analyze evidence to make judgements. The main reason I think I’m good at this is because I’m great at quick thinking and making a decision fast. This can come in handy for example if someone has stopped breathing or I see that someone has overdosed. This may come in handy in saving someone’s life so I am glad, I can analyze scenarios and make judgements fast.
