Resuscitation. Students should be able to carry out or instruct someone in the application of this
“Life Saving” technique. This task involves practical application of knowledge gained
throughout the lesson. Students should understand how, when and why steps are carried out in
this technique to assist someone in Cardio-Pulmonary distress. Students are able to see how
knowledge gained during this course can have practical, lifesaving use in their lives as students
are often faced with this dilemma of answering the question “ What does this information mean
