My Learning of CPR

CPR Reflection

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

That CPR is so tiring, I thought it was way easier.

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

One key takeaway that I had from this unit is I know how to do CPR and use an AED in a safe and proper manner.

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

Because if you eat unhealthy every day (eating stuff like candy and chips and pop and bad stuff like that), then it could lead to heart failure, which requires using an AED or doing CPR on a person.

Core Competency Reflection

Examples of where I communicated clearly and purposefully can be seen in when I was using the AED.

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I will take a walk for a couple mins before returning to class. I do this because it takes me away from the really stressful situations, and sort of helps me reset my mind.

One lesson that stimulated my thinking about the importance of CPR was when I was thinking about just how easily someone’s heart can stop/fail, and that I could be put in this position at any given time of day.
