Grade 10’s, here is the link to your on-line CPR manual: https://sites.google.com/vanffcpr.org/cpr-resource/resource/manuals

You only study Part A (up to and including Part 5-choking).

A reminder, both blocks, that your course runs during our in-class blocks – May 1, 3, and 7. If you miss one, you cannot get certified.

In this course you will be learning:

  Safety – to ensure that no further harm comes to you or to anyone else,

The Emergency Response Plan – to manage any situation,

CPR – for patients with no breathing,

How to Recognize Heart attacks and Strokes – to get someone to the hospital before CPR is necessary, and

Treatment for Choking – to clear the airway of a person who can’t breathe.

When to use this:

 Level A Course (Adults): 

 The skills you will be learning on this course are for patients eight or older.  Children and infants require different first aid techniques.

Grade 10’s, see the below Archery “How To” videos for some valuable tips.  The instructor is Nu Sensei and his descriptions of technique are broken down well for beginners.

You have two more classes left to practice. Skills assessment runs Monday. November 27th
