06.04 FIRST AID AND CPR
Assessment
Knowing how to prevent, detect, and treat common injuries can help keep you safe while you’re having fun. It is even more important to be familiar with the warning signs of heart attack, stroke, and cardiac arrest, and to know the basic CPR procedures that could save a life! At this time, you will complete the First Aid and CPR Assignment.

First Aid and CPR Instructions
For this assignment, you will demonstrate basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) procedures. Look through both options before deciding which one to choose.

Option # 1 - Provide a CPR certificate or card
If you are already CPR certified, or want to take a certification course that includes a CPR trainer observing your skill technique in person, you can submit a photo of your certificate or card to assessment 6.04. Be sure that your certificate or card clearly shows your name, date of completion, and/or date of expiration. 

The following organizations offer classes to certify people in CPR:
•	American Red Cross
•	American Heart Association
•	Many other community organizations (i.e. YMCA, fire department, churches, community centers, etc.)

Option # 2 - Video of you demonstrating CPR techniques
If the cost of a CPR course is too high, you can still learn the basics of these life-saving techniques by watching the American Red Cross Hands-Only CPR video here http://tiny.cc/handsonlycpr. After you take notes and practice the techniques taught in the video, use a recording device to record a video of you demonstrating the techniques on a stable object like a basketball. 

The video should:
•	Be one minute or less
•	Be clear and well lit
•	Show you demonstrating proper Hands-Only CPR (Checklist on next page)
•	Include clear audio of you explaining the technique as you go

Six Steps to Be Included

Step 1 – Check the scene for safety, then see if the person responds to you when you tap them on the shoulder and you shout, “Are you okay?”

Step 2 – Briefly look at the chest for breathing.

Step 3 – If there is no response, call 9-1-1 or have someone else call.

Step 4 – If the person is not breathing or gasping, prepare for chest compressions by placing the heel of one hand in the center of their chest. Place your second hand over the hand on the chest and lace your fingers together. Position your shoulders over your hands, with arms straight and fingers off the chest.

Step 5 – Push hard and fast, at least two inches, and let the chest rise completely. Keep your hands on the chest as you raise and lower your body weight.

Step 6 – Keep going without stopping. Do not stop until the person is clearly breathing, the situation becomes unsafe, an AED (automatic external defibrillator) device is available, you’re too exhausted to continue, or a trained responder takes over.	
Total Points Possible: 80 points
