My Learning of CPR

CPR Reflection

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

I hadn’t known the difference between cardiac arrest and a heart attack prior to this experience, and had thought they were the same thing.

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

I learned that I have to compress 100 times in 1 minute and give 2 rescue breaths every 30 compressions.

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

With proper nutrition, you can eliminate risk factors that cause the need for CPR in the first place.

Core Competency Reflection

1. One of the ways I can see using this learning to help others is when somebody I know and love is in cardiac arrest. This is a skill that can save lives, and if I could save a life of a loved one, I would be extremely happy.

2. Examples of where I communicated clearly and purposefully can be seen in the times I have asked my peers questions about the given subject, instead of using my phone and AI. I believe that communication is incredibly important, and getting to practice that in this subject was very nice.

3. I can describe how learning about CPR relates to my life

This unit in CPR was very relatable for me, as my dad had once had to had CPR preformed on him while he was at work, and while I personally wasn’t there, I still have fears that he might go through cardiac arrest again. This unit in CPR has alleviated my fears a little bit, as i can now do something if it occurs once more.
