Publisher's Synopsis
- This is a totally integrated new program for a 6-to 8-hour First Aid/CPR course. It covers all the training needed to respond to emergencies of all types-quickly and effectively-during the critical first five minutes that can mean life or death for an ill or injured person.
- The student text is easy to understand and covers basic first aid information. It is fully illustrated with four-color photographs and a unique set of icons (visual symbols). These icons help students recall the critical steps necessary when responding to a medical emergency or trauma.
- Part I explains scene safety and universal precautions, and teaches 12 critical response skills. In Part II, 16 specific crisis situations are discussed and students are led, step-by-step, through the procedures for handling each of these emergencies.
- This training package offers flexibility to the instructor who teaches bystander first aid.
