My learning of CPR

CPR Reflection

a) What was something you learned that you didn’t know or consider before?

Some thing that I learned and found interesting was that a heart attack and cardiac arrest don’t mean the same thing. Cardiac arrest is when the heart stops beating and a heart attack is when blood flow to the heart is blocked.

b)What is a key takeaway from the Theory or Practical CPR unit? 

My key takeaway from the Theory or Practical CPR unit was that a heart attack, cardiac arrest, or stroke could happen to anyone and that if your were in the situation of having to save someone from one of those three scenarios you would have the skills to do so

c)How does this unit connect to the nutrition unit learned previously? 

This unit relates to the nutrition unit because one of the ways to lower the risk of a heart attack is to eat a proper diet and regular exercise.

Core Competency Reflection

a)One lesson that stimulated my thinking about the importance of CPR was

Something that I learned that stimulated my thinking about CPR was that heart attacks, cardiac arrest, and strokes could happen to anyone. even if you are a healthy person you are still able to experience one of these three conditions

b)Examples of where I communicated clearly and purposefully can be seen in

An example of where i communicated clearly was when i was doing my CPR test. When given the scenario I was able to actively play out the scenario by asking my partner to call 911 and to grab and AED.

c)One of the ways I can see using this learning to help others is

If I were ever in a scenario where a person was experiencing a heart attack I would be able to have the skills to preform CPR to save that persons life
