My Learning of CPR

CPR Reflection

Something that I learned that I didn’t know before was the difference between having a stroke and having a heart attack. Having a stroke effects mostly your brain whereas a heart attack effects mostly your heart. My key takeaway from the Theory or Practical CPR unit is the knowledge that I can save a life if it comes down to it. Knowing that I know what to do if a situation comes up if really cool to think about. This unit connects to the nutrition unit because you need to have good nutrition to reduce your chances of having a heart attack.

Core Competency Reflection

Examples of where I communicated clearly and purposefully can be seen when I have been practicing CPR. I had to come in and yell for help and that is a form of communicating purposefully.

I can describe how learning about CPR relates to my life because you never know who’s going to have a heart attack and when. I can help people if needed and you never know when people need help.

One of the ways I can see using this learning to help others is if I see someone having a heart attack, I can help them and hopefully help them to survive. I can use this to also help others to know what to do if they are ever in a situation where they need to know.
