Q. What are the 4 R’s of the program we used in our CPR & AED unit?

A. The 4R’s of the program we used in our CPR & AED unit, the ACT program, goes as following (listed in numerical order):
1. Risk – Know the risk factors leading to a cardiac arrest, heart attack, or stroke
2. Recognize – Know how to recognize if someone is having or going to have a cardiac arrest, heart attack, or stroke
3. React – Know how to react to an issue if someone has or had cardiac arrest, heat attack, or stroke
4. Resuscitate – Know how to solve an issue of a cardiac arrest, heart attack, or stroke if anyone has had one by either doing CPR or by using an AED even if you aren’t a professional

Q. Why do you think it’s important to learn about Risk, Recognize, React and Resuscitate and how this might help you moving forward in life?

A. Learning about the four “Rs” — Risk, Recognize, React, and Resuscitate — is important because it helps you prevent and respond to medical emergencies effectively. Understanding Risk encourages healthier choices to reduce emergencies. Being able to Recognize warning signs quickly allows for faster action. Knowing how to React means you can call for help and start life-saving steps like CPR. Learning to Resuscitate by performing CPR and using an AED can save lives until professionals arrive.

These skills build confidence, improve community safety, and can be used anywhere—at home, work, or in public. They also promote healthier living and can open doors to career opportunities. Overall, mastering the four “Rs” prepares you to act confidently in emergencies and make a real difference in saving lives.
