My Learning of CPR
CPR Reflection
What was something you learned that you didnt know or consider before?
I didn’t consider how hard it would be to save someones life. Watching people give CPR on TV made it seem like it was such an easy task but when we started this unit I realized it takes a lot of work to do it.
What is a key takeaway from the Theory or Practical CPR unit?
The biggest thing I’m going to takeaway is that when trying to save someones life using CPR you have to make sure you follow the steps. The steps include, Check for hazards, Call 911, Landmark the chest, Give compressions, Give 2 breaths. I learned its vital to remember that you have to check for hazards because if you don’t it can hurt you and the person you’re saving.
How does this unit connect to the nutrition unit learned previously?
It connects because if your body isn’t healthy then you can have a higher chance of having a heart attack, angina, cardia arrest, etc. Its important to make sure your diet is healthy, and that you exercise regularly to maintain good health.
Core Competency Reflection
Examples of where I communicated clearly and purposefully can be seen in…
These can be seen when I work in group settings, when a group I’m in is confused on the task at hand I try to explain what were being asked of to the best of my knowledge. This helps both me display my knowledge of the topic and help me understand my groups point of view.
One of the ways I can see using this learning to help others is…
If someone near me or someone else that knows CPR, is having a Heart Attack, Angina, Cardiac Arrest, etc. Either the other person or I would be able to give the person in need CPR and could save their lives. Its helpful that we know this incase we are ever in this position.
I can describe how learning about CPR relates to my life…
This relates to my life because my family members are getting older and have the potential to be more at risk for health issues, and me having a knowledge of what to do in a situation that could arise is helpful. T
