i learned that you need to check the surroundings and talk to the person before doing any type of compressions. we also learned how the heart works and different type of risks you take. smoking is the most common risk in all of Canada. the key take away from this unit was how to complete cpr. you have to go around 5 cm into the chest with one hand under the other with your fingers locked. this unit focused on the heart and real life situations. the previous unit focused on your diet and excersise. nutrition and excersise helps prevent heart attacks and or strokes. this helps with your health physically and mentally.
Core Competency Reflection
- i can describe how learning about CPR relates to my life by making up senarios and looking at the health part. i compare it to how i live my life and if i need to make changes in my deit or excersise to my everyday life to prevent those heart problems.
- in this unit i am most proud of my test. i got perfect on it. it is the first test i have done all semester and it turned out really well.
- one of the ways i can see using this learning to help others is by teaching them how to save a life and if it happens in real life. if someone needed CPR i could give it to them becuase ” i am trained, i can do this”
