CPR Reflection

What was something you learned that you didn’t know or consider before? I learned that when doing CPR you have to push down very hard which will probably end up breaking some ribs. When doing this though you want to make sure you and pushing down 5cm which is as long as a key. You want to make sure you are pushing hard and fast.

What is a key takeaway from the Theory or Practical CPR unit? I think the key takeaway from this unit is learning how to do CPR on someone who is unconscious. I think this is a very useful life skill to always have because you could save someone’s life.

How does this unit connect to the nutrition unit learned previously? You want to make sure that you are putting healthy foods into your body because if you only eat lots of veggies, fruits and grains you wont get much cholesterol. So you always want to make sure you have a balanced healthy diet.

Core Competency Reflection

One of the ways I can see using this learning to help others is… if someone collapses in front of me I now know what to do. Find the risks, recognize them, react and resuscitate. I also learned how to properly do CPR. By knowing all this I could save a life.

In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by… talking to friends or peers of what I have just learned to get all the information to stay in my head. I also learn from others opinions and what they have to say.

One lesson that stimulated my thinking about the importance of CPR was… how important it is to know how to do CPR because what if one of my family members collapsed in front of me and I didn’t know what to do. I would feel helpless but now if someone collapses in front of me I now know what to do.
