This assessment task requires you to perform CPR. Carefully review the
instructions below so that you understand what you must do during the
activity.

Your assessor will set up the emergency situation and you will
complete all of the following activities as part of a simulated emergency
situation.

The casualties involved in the incident will be one adult and one
infant and you will be required to perform CPR for both. Both adult and
infant are unconscious and not breathing.

There is also another person who is injured. Regarding this person,
your assessor will not advise you of the casualty’s injury and you will have
to work this out through identifying the person’s history, signs and symptoms
and then providing the appropriate first aid treatment.

Before performing CPR, you will need to:

·Verbally
describe the emergency situation set up by your assessor – this will show
that you can recognise and assess an emergency situation.

·Check for
danger to yourself, bystanders and casualties and remove hazards (specific
hazards will be set up for you to remove).

·Check for a
response from the adult and infant casualties in order to determine the need
for CPR – verbally advise your assessor when CPR should be started and show
your assessor the correct action if the casualty is unconscious but
breathing.

·Check the
person who is injured by asking them about their history and looking at their
signs and symptoms. Correctly identify what their injury is (verbally
describe this to your assessor).

·Call emergency
services using the correct number and seeking assistance in relation to the
incident (this will be a simulated call). Your assessor will listen to you
and you will need to correctly and concisely describe the incident.

·You will be
required to perform CPR twice, once with the adult casualty (an adult
resuscitation manikin placed on the floor) and once with an infant casualty
(an infant resuscitation manikin placed on a firm surface) as outlined below.

·Regarding
performing CPR on theadultcasualty, you are to:

oPosition the casualty in the required
position

oComplete the appropriate checks prior to
performing CPR

oPerform single rescuer CPR uninterrupted for 2
minutes (5 cycles of both compressions and ventilations) according to ARC
guidelines

oRotate with another student to perform CPR
with minimal interruptions to compressions. Complete at least two rotations
i.e. each person doing the breathing twice and each person doing the
compressions twice.

oApply an AED and following the voice prompts
to deliver at least one shock to the manikin.

oRespond to regurgitation or vomiting of the
casualty. Do this by showing your assessor actions you need to take.

·Regarding
performing CPR on theinfantcasualty, you are to perform at
least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer CPR (5 cycles both
compressions and ventilations).

During the CPR you are to display respectful behaviour to the casualties
at all times.

You are also to provide appropriate first aid to the casualty with the
unknown condition, making them as comfortable as possible with the resources
you have.

Remember, you must always ask for consent to proceed where
possible.

You are also to monitor all of your casualties – explain to your
assessor how you do this.

Once you have performed CPR, you will also:

·verbally
describe the incident to emergency services (this will be your assessor).

·complete the
required Incident Report Form, maintaining privacy and confidentiality at all
times.
