This workbook is designed to supplement the American Red Cross textbook, Responding to Emergencies Comprehensive First Aid/CPR/AED (2012). The focus of the workbook revolves around three emergency action steps, Check-Call-Care, and meets the 2015 Consensus on Science for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) Guidelines.
The content of the workbook is structured to align more closely with a college level course in first aid. A student who completes this course will have the basic training and skills to assist a person who is ill or injured or who has a life-threatening condition.
Highlights of the workbook include: chapter Learning Activities to help students comprehend and retain the most important information. Scenarios, taken from real-life emergency situations, are included to afford students the opportunity to apply the knowledge learned; Expanded Course Content including the 2015 updates in changes to CPR and First Aid; Skill Check Sheets used to evaluate the student’s ability to meet minimum competencies in the provision of basic emergency care; and Algorithms (decision making trees) which emphasize the emergency action steps of CHECK-CALL-CARE for selected skills.
