First Aid/CPR Scenario Form Scenario No.: Description of Emergency: Resources:
Leader Instructions: First Aid/CPR Scenarios This page contains instructions for conducting first aid/cpr scenarios as part of a lifeguarding course or a staff orientation/in service training session. The unique format of this scenario packet (i.e., scenario answer sheet, etc.) enables you to introduce scenarios to an entire class or safety team. To use this packet: 1. Select one of the Scenario Samples, or create your own scenario using the Scenario Form on the previous page. If you create your own scenario, use the Sample Scenarios as a guide so you include enough information to identify the victim s condition. 2. Make copies of the selected scenario, the scenario answer sheet, and height and weight chart, and distribute them to each participant. If this is the first time the participants are using this packet, take a few moments to review each handout. 3. Read the scenario out loud, and then give the participants about 5 7 minutes to complete the Scene Size Up, Initial Assessment, and EMS Activation sections. 4. If the scenario involves initial and secondary assessments, have a participant or leader conduct assessment of ABCs and secondary assessment as appropriate while the other participants complete the ABCs and Secondary Assessment portions of the scenario answer sheet. Be sure to prep the victim with an appropriate history, set of vital signs and other conditions, and/or injured body parts so participants can take notes. 5. Once all assessment information has been collected, give participants another 5 minutes to complete the Care section. 6. Hold a brief discussion of how each participant filled out this answer sheet for this scenario. Do not focus on right and wrong; instead, discuss the decision making process used by the participants as well as their application of sound principles of first aid care. 7. Collect the scenario answer sheets so you can review their answers further.
