Lessons in this Unit

  • Acute Illness and Accidents

    This lesson will prepare the student to triage a patient's injuries either over the phone or in person to determine the proper procedure for treatment. I will introduce this unit by showing clips of various accidents. The closing activity will involve role play with some students playing accident victims while other students must triage the patient to determine the appropriate response for treatment.
