Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)
- Course Outcomes
- Identify the need for emergency care and how to activate the EMS.
- Apply your understanding of the physiological differences of an adult, child, and infant to provide the most effective course of first aid treatment.
- Successfully perform rescue breathing for adult, child and infant.
- Demonstrate the Heimlich manuver on a conscious and an unconscious adult, child and infant victim.
- Modify his or her CPR skills according to the victim's ages (adult, child, and or infant) and when to use an AED.
- Distinguish the type of bleeding and formulate the correct plan of action to control severe bleeding and apply a pressure bandage.
- Assess the difference between normal behavior or consciousness and that which can occur as a result of intoxication from alcohol and drugs or from injury such as head injuries, stroke, diabetic complications, etc.
