write in your CPR textbookWrite in your CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer textbook:
On page 7: Hepatitis B virus can live on a surface, exposed to the air and dried, for two weeks
on page 11: Kevlar gloves are puncture resistant. Nitrile gloves are resistant to most moderate chemicals. If you use latex, touch victim as little as possible until you know if they are allergic to latex.
Write on page 14: recommended adult vaccinations Tetanus, MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), Varicella, sometimes Influenza, Pneumococcal, Hepatitis A Hepatitus B and Meningoccal
Write on page 14: Never pour undiluted bleach straight from the bottle onto spills of blood, urine, sputum or vomit. Dangerous levels of toxic chlorine nitrous oxide gases could result.
On page 24 write: atmospheric air= 21% oxygen, rescue breathing = 16% oxygen, Bag-valve mask = 21% oxygen.
On page 28, step 2, write: Tell the person calling to come back and tell you what 911 says.
Older versions of the text do not make it clear what to do if you are helping a conscious choking adult who becomes unconscious. If you look at page 37 in the student book, at the end you will see that it says "if the victim becomes unconscious, go to ...page 40."
But at page 40 the first step is to try rescue breaths. The actual next step is from the FAQs section in the instructor CD: "If the victim becomes unconscious, carefully help the victim to the floor. Then check for an object in the mouth. If the object is visible, remove it with a finger. Whether or not an object is removed, begin using a modified CPR technique for an unconscious choking victim."
Write in your text on page 37 next to "if the victim becomes unconscious," carefully help the victim to the floor. Then check for an object in the mouth. If the object is visible, remove it with a finger. Then go to the steps on page 40.
Write on page 63: real AED pads are stickier than the practice ones, be careful of gloves getting stuck to the AED pads.
