the wound.

You might have been “shocked” by what someone said, but the type of shock you will be learning
about in this course is a dangerous condition in which not enough oxygen-rich blood is reaching vital
organs in the body. How interested are you in learning about this kind of shock?
A)
B)
C)
D)
I think knowing what to do when someone is in shock is extremely important.
Knowing about shock is good to know but not the most important first aid topic.
I suppose I can learn something new but for the most part not too excited.
This topic isn’t very important to me so this will be a struggle to study.
36. (U4C2L4:DL2) How will you continue learning about shock and fractures?
A)
B)
C)
D)
Find someone certified in first aid and ask for some coaching.
Look up more information on the web or other resources.
I would like to learn more but need some ideas on where to go.
I am not planning on learning any more about this topic.
