The activity is worth 15 points.

Emergency Relief and CPR
Becoming an adult means taking responsibility for a variety of different aspects of your life. Your health is one of the most important of these responsibilities, especially your physical health!

While this unit covered several ways that you can take care of your personal health, we have not yet covered one very important skill for maintaining your personal health—CPR and emergency relief techniques.

While you may not need to perform CPR and emergency relief on a regular basis, if you ever find yourself in a situation that requires either of these skills, having some knowledge of them might just save a life!

In an effort to help you become more familiar with these life-saving skills, you will explore them in greater depth with this activity. And while completing this activity will certainly give you a deeper understanding of these two skills, it is highly suggested that you investigate and enroll in an actual CPR certification course to ensure that you can confidently perform these life-saving procedures if you ever need to.

You can visit this website to locate and enroll in a CPR certification course near you:

Activity Guidelines:
For this activity, you will create a slide show presentation that clearly explains the steps for performing CPR and the steps for performing emergency relief on someone with an obstructed airway.

Your presentation should include the following information:

A title slide
A descriptive title for your presentation and your name
A minimum of two slides about CPR
Slide 1: a brief overview of what CPR is and when it may be necessary to perform it
Slide 2: the specific steps for performing CPR, each with a brief explanation
Include at least one graphic on each slide that is pertinent to the information
A minimum of two slides about emergency relief on a person with an obstructed airway
Slide 1: a brief overview of obstructed airway relief and when it may be necessary to perform it
Slide 2: the specific steps for performing emergency relief on a person with an obstructed airway, each step with a brief explanation
Include at least one graphic on each slide that is pertinent to the information
A video demonstrating both emergency procedures
Use a doll to demonstrate how to perform CPR and how to perform emergency relief on a person with an obstructed airway. Introduce each demonstration before beginning and verbally explain anything that may help viewers understand what they are watching.
Insert your completed video into a slide in your presentation.
Your videos can be brief and should simply give viewers a general idea of what both of these procedures look like. It is understood that, depending on the size of the doll that you use, your demonstration may look slightly different than if you were performing these procedures on an adult in real life.
One slide listing any references or resources that you used to research your presentation.
The above requirements are the minimum that is required for your presentation. If you feel that you need more than two slides per emergency procedure to adequately cover the topic, you are welcome to create a longer presentation.

There is a lot of information and how-to videos available online regarding both of these life-saving procedures. If you need some help getting started, you can start by reviewing the following websites:

Mayoclinic - Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
Redcross - CPR Steps
hsi - CPR 101
Patient - Choking and Foreign Body Airway Obstruction
Emergencycareforyou - Choking (Heimlich Maneuver)
Your grade will be based on your ability to include all of the required information in an organized and well-thought out manner. For more details on how you will be graded, please refer to the rubric below.

Can you create the presentation and make sure that it is 9th grade level

1 answer

Certainly! Below is a structured outline for a slide show presentation on CPR and emergency relief techniques suitable for a 9th-grade audience. You can use this outline to create your presentation slides, adding graphics, video clips, and any additional information you feel is necessary.

Slide Show Presentation: Emergency Relief and CPR

Slide 1: Title Slide

Title: CPR and Emergency Relief Techniques
Your Name: [Your Name Here]
Date: [Date of Presentation Here]

Slide 2: What is CPR?

CPR stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
It is a life-saving technique used in emergencies when someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped.
When to Perform CPR:
- If someone is unresponsive and not breathing (check for signs).
Graphic: Image of CPR in progress (e.g., chest compressions).

Slide 3: Steps for Performing CPR

Step 1: Ensure Safety
- Make sure the area is safe for you and the victim.
Step 2: Call for Help
- Call emergency services (911 in the U.S.) or ask someone else to do so.
Step 3: Start Chest Compressions
- Place hands in the center of the person’s chest and push down hard and fast (100-120 compressions per minute).
Step 4: Open the Airway
- Tilt the head back slightly to open the airway.
Step 5: Rescue Breaths (if trained)
- Give 2 rescue breaths after every 30 compressions.
- Seal the person’s mouth and give two breaths, watching for the chest to rise.

Slide 4: What is Obstructed Airway Relief?

Obstructed airway relief is a technique for helping someone who cannot breathe due to a blockage (like choking).
When to Perform:
- If someone is choking and cannot cough, speak, or breathe.
Graphic: Illustration showing a person choking.

Slide 5: Steps for Emergency Relief (Heimlich Maneuver)

Step 1: Assess the Situation
- Confirm the person is choking and cannot breathe.
Step 2: Call for Help
- Ask someone to call 911 while providing help.
Step 3: Positioning
- Stand behind the person and wrap your arms around their waist.
Step 4: Perform Abdominal Thrusts
- Make a fist with one hand and place it just above the person’s navel.
- Grasp your fist with the other hand and thrust inward and upward until the object is expelled or the person can breathe again.

Keep each slide visually appealing with graphics.

Notes for Video (Slide 6)

Introduce the demonstration: "In this video, I will show you how to perform CPR and the Heimlich maneuver using this doll."
Explain each step clearly as you demonstrate, maintaining a loud and clear voice.
