Emergency Stop: First Aid Procedures
For this application, you and a coursemate will create a video that illustrates an emergency scenario. Specifically, one of you will provide care to the other. In your emergency scenario, you need to identify the emergency, perform all appropriate steps involved in caring for the person, and depict the results of the emergency care.
Choose one emergency from the below list that will be the focal point in your scenario:
- Open wound
- Burn wound
- Poisoning
- Muscle, bone, or joint injury
- Breathing emergency
- Stroke
- Weather-related emergency
- Fainting
- Head, neck, or back injury
Before you begin videotaping, write an outline of your scenario that includes information about the emergency, all steps related to the appropriate care, and the results of the emergency care. When you videotape the scenario, be creative and realistic. Also use props when possible. Your video should be between two-and-five minutes long. Use the video creation information found in the Developmental Module to help you create your video scenario. Before you begin, access the Emergency Procedures Video Checklist to make sure you include all items required for full credit. You may need to use resources outside of this course to complete this assignment. If so, please submit a Works Cited document. If you need assistance, visit the Developmental Module for information on citing resources.
Once you have completed your outline and video, please submit your work to the dropbox.
