CPR

[judih]

i'm just doing a refresher course in CPR. Here, it's mandatory for teachers to know how to offer first aid and since most accidents happen in places other than hospitals and doctors' offices (though i'm sure quite a few happen there as well), i thought it would be interesting to offer up this CPR quiz.

Tell me how you do. i've got a test tomorrow - practical - giving CPR to an adult and infant dummy and written, where i have to answer questions about shock, heart attack and wounded victims. Snake and scorpion bites are also on the agenda (keep the person still and relaxed to slow down the spreading of the poison, and for goddess' sake, don't try to suck out the venom. Playing around with it can only make it spread faster)

so, have fun.
