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

That CPR was very physically demanding and you actually have to push down deep and fast.

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

A key takeaway I have from the CPR unit was that I need to react fast and take control.

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

It ties into the risk factor. One of the risk factors of heart disease is high cholesterol levels. This can be prevented/helped by maintaining a healthy diet.

Core Competency Reflection

Examples of where I communicated clearly and purposefully can be seen when we practiced on the CPR dummy’s. Me and my group made real life scenarios and acted them out for a better understanding of how real life situations would feel like.

One area of CPR in which I’d like to spend more time learning is how to help someone who is choking. We didn’t go in depth into this but someone having an obstructed airway is more common and is just as deadly.

One lesson that stimulated my thinking about the importance of CPR was the risk factor lesson. This is because its very eye opening to see just how easy it is to have a heart attack or fall unconscious, and how important it is to learn these skills so you could save a life.
