Danger-to not put yoursef in any other dangers around.
Response-to check and see if they talk back as they might have earphones in.
Airways- to check and see if they have anything stuck in their airways.
Breatinng-to check they are breathing.
Circulation- to check and see if they have a pulse.
if they are not breathing you should do CPR but always ring for an ambalance first. then you do 30 compressions, then tilt the head back and pinch the nose and breath into their mouth. always make sure the your mouth is covering theirs so no air can escape. you do this twice then you keep repeating yourself and do 30 commpresions and then 2 deep breaths into the mouth.
Pregnancy occurs when an egg is fertilized by a sperm, grows inside a woman’s uterus (womb), and develops into a baby. In humans, this process takes about 264 days, but the obstetrician will date from the last menstrual period or 280 days (40 weeks).
Pregnancy Causes
Pregnancy occurs with the fertilization of a woman’s egg by a man’s sperm. Fertility drugs may improve a woman’s odds of achieving pregnancy.
The word shock is used differently by the medical community and the general public. The connotation by the public is an intense emotional reaction to a stressful situation or piece of news. Its medical meaning is much different.
shock symptons
Shock is defined as abnormal metabolism at the cellular level. Since it is not easy to directly measure cellular problems, the symptoms of shock are indirect measurements of cellular function. Shock is the end stage of all diseases, and symptoms will often be dependant on the underlying cause.
things to do when in shock
If you come upon a person in shock, the initial response should be to call 911 and activate the emergency response system.
Shock is a culmination of multiple organ systems in the body that have failed or are in the process of failing. Even with the best of care, there is a significant risk of death.
Choking is a blockage of the upper airway by food or other objects, which prevents a person from breathing effectively. Choking can cause a simple coughing fit, but complete blockage of the airway may lead to death.
causes of choking
Choking is caused when a piece of food or other object gets stuck in the upper airway.
In the back of the mouth are two openings. One is the esophagus, which leads to the stomach; food goes down this pathway. The other is the trachea, which is the opening air must pass through to get to the lungs. When swallowing occurs, the trachea is covered by a flap called the epiglottis, which prevents food from entering the lungs. The trachea splits into the left and right mainstem bronchus. These lead to the left and right lungs. They branch into increasingly smaller tubes as they spread throughout the lungs.
signs of choking
If an adult is choking, you may observe the following behaviors:
Coughing or gagging
Hand signals and panic (sometimes pointing to the throat)
Sudden inability to talk
Clutching the throat: The natural response to choking is to grab the throat with one or both hands. This is the universal choking sign and a way of telling people around you that you are choking.
Asthma is a condition that affects the airways – the small tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs.
When a person with asthma comes into contact with something that irritates their airways (an asthma trigger), the muscles around the walls of the airways tighten so that the airways become narrower and the lining of the airways becomes inflamed and starts to swell. Sometimes sticky mucus or phlegm builds up which can further narrow the airways.
The typical symptoms are wheeze, cough, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Symptoms can range from mild to severe. Asthma cannot be ‘cured’, but treatment usually works well to ease and prevent symptoms. Treatment is usually with inhalers. A ‘typical’ person with asthma may take a preventer inhaler every day (to prevent symptoms developing), and use a reliever inhaler as and when required (if symptoms flare up).
I didnt get to do the interview. but the reason why we were doing this was because it shows how to conduct myself in a professional interview and to show how much you have learnt on this course so far.
1…Teamwork is important in our nursery, how would you make sure you became a useful member of our team?
I would make a useful member of your team as I cooperate very well with others. I can assist with any work needed. I have got good leadership as i taught Sarah Ball how to do CPR because she was not in when we all learned it.
2…Give an example of a situation you have had to deal with that required you to remain calm and in control. Tell me what skills you used.
I put Natalie into the recovery position as she was unconcious. I stayed calm and incontrol i called for an ambalance as soon as i put her into the recovery position, i used the skills i learnt on my course.
3…What makes you stand out from the rest of the candidates?
I am able not to just work in a group but to lead a team. Educate others so they know what to do. Assist with their personal development. I believe i have gained confidence i have a balanced view of the world, I am very caring-assisting others on the course. The skills i have learnt is the recovery position, CPR, how to bande someone, how to help slow bleeding down on somebody, also i know how to treat a shocked person. for example my scenario where Amy was unconcious on the floor i put her into the recovery position and then Sarah Ball was bleeding at a bus stop. i then asked Natalie if she was okay as she looked Shocked.
this is our training video for the recovery position so you people can know how to do it and why you should put people into the recovery position.
I am unconcious and Emma is going to put me into the recovery position as i fell off a climbing frame and banged my head. First of all Emma checked for danger, then checked for a response and because i was unconious i couldnt responed to her, so she checked my airways and also checked if i was breathing then she put me into the recovery position because she didnt want me to stop breathing.
This is what you should do before and after putting someone into the recovery position.
sarah had been mugged and stabbed and natalie was her friend that was shocked
i first checked for danger so nobody else got hurt i went over to amy as she was unconious as she might not be breathing and i would only have three minutes to make her breathe again without her getting any worse then i checked for a response then i checked her airways bacause she might of chocked i also i checked to see if she was breathing and she was so it was lucky. then when i put her into the recovery position. then i went over to sarah and put pressure on the stab wound tight so that she didnt lose more blood and i asked natalie to ring for an ambalance i also asked sarah question so she would talk back and stay concious still holding the wound tight i asked if natalie was ok she was. i asked her name age if she was pregnant and the basic questions i need to let the ambalance know.
this is my picture of a nursery and all the hazards of a nursery and what you can do to improve the nursery.
The pink crosses are hazards. That i have identified.
The orange boxes are locks. That i would put on to make the nursery safer.
The blue highlighted bits are non slip floors. So the children will not slip over and hurt themselfs. e.g. by the sink you need non slip mats because the water may have spilt all over the place and they might slip.
The purple is because the tables shouldnt be pointy the should be curved. So the children dont fall and hurt they faces. and get scratchs over them.
The blue rectangles are the phones. so they can make phone calls to parents etc.
The green is for sticky tabs. So the things that are stuck do not fall over and hurt a child. as the children might get stuck under there.
The yellow is for a slope and rails so they can hold on to them walking up. Because the nursery may have disabled children or parents there picking their child up.
The red is for fire exits doors. so you know where the nearst fire exit is.
D- Danger- you have to look to see if there is any danger e.g. gas leaks, cut wires.you have to do this because there might be a fire and you and the cauasualty might get trapped in there.
R-response-you have to always check if there is a response because the causalty maybe asleep with headphones in or deaf. you have to do this because they might be unconcious.
A-Airways-you have to open the mouth and check to see if they have got anything in their throats. you have to do this because they might of chocked on something. and if you start CPR and there is something in their throat then you could push it down even more.
B-Breathing- you have to bend down and up your ear to their mouth and check if they are breathing. if they are not breathing then you have to give mouth to mouth for 3minutes.
C-Circulation-check the pulse either in the wrist groin do not use your thumb as you have a pulse in your thumb. you have to do this because they might have a blood clot, they might be bleeding and heart will stop if lost to much blood.
