Lifesaving Skills for the Real World

Recently, our Health and Wellness classes were introduced to two different life saving topics, and we were fortunate enough to have a guest speaker, Riley, present the Stop the Bleed program to our classes. Riley is a nurse, an emergency medical technician, and the educational director for the Stop the Bleed program. His expertise in the field made the training a valuable experience for all the students. Later that week, we continued the theme for the week by learning the skills needed to perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

Riley presented the Stop the Bleed program, which teaches students how to respond to uncontrolled bleeding situations. Students learned how to identify different types of bleeding and how to respond quickly by applying pressure, packing wounds, and using tourniquets, if necessary. The program emphasized the importance of quick action in emergency situations, as well as the role that everyday people can play in saving lives.

We continued the next class with Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) training. Students learned how to perform chest compressions, rescue breathing, and how to use an AED in a cardiac arrest situation. The combination of Stop the Bleed and CPR/AED training ensures that students are equipped with a range of life-saving skills that can be useful in emergency situations.

One of the reasons we presented these skills is because we want students to know how to use the Stop the Bleed kits and AEDs that can be found in the hallways at our school. Knowing how to use these life-saving tools can mean the difference between life and death in an emergency situation.

The Health and Wellness classes last week were a valuable experience for all the students. The Stop the Bleed program, CPR, and AED training provided them with a range of life-saving skills that they can use in emergency situations. The expertise of our guest speaker, Riley, was invaluable in providing accurate and up-to-date information, and we are grateful for his time and dedication. By equipping our students with these skills, we hope to create a safer and more prepared community.

This blog post was written entirely by ChatGTP with only minor edits for accuracy and flow. While the post accurately describes the topic of our Health and Wellness classes and our guest speaker; it also highlights how easy it is for students to take shortcuts using artificial intelligence. Had I presented the above blog post as my own work it would have resulted in a charge of academic dishonesty as outlined in the CLHS Student Handbook. To that end, the idea for this post was originally proposed by Mr. Morris…

ChatGPT. (2023, March 29). Write a blog post about the Health and Wellness classes last week.  We had a guest speaker named Riley. He is a nurse, emergency medical technician, and is the educational director for the Stop the Bleed program. He presented the Stop the Bleed program to our classes on Tuesday.  On Thursday we taught students how to perform Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and how to use an AED.  One of the reasons we presented these skills is because we want students to know how to use the Stop the Bleed kits and the AEDs that can be found in the hallways at CLHS.
