]]> Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR): First aid https://training.fildinc.com/courses/cardiopulmonary-resuscitation-cpr-first-aid/ Tue, 16 Mar 2021 16:20:02 +0000 https://training.fildinc.com/?post_type=courses&p=89 Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique useful in many emergencies, including a heart attack or near drowning, in which someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped. The American Heart Association recommends that everyone — untrained bystanders and medical personnel alike — begin CPR with chest compressions.

It’s far better to do something than to do nothing at all if you’re fearful that your knowledge or abilities aren’t 100 percent complete. Remember, the difference between your doing something and doing nothing could be someone’s life.

Here’s advice from the American Heart Association:

  • Untrained. If you’re not trained in CPR, then provide hands-only CPR. That means uninterrupted chest compressions of 100 to 120 a minute until paramedics arrive (described in more detail below). You don’t need to try rescue breathing.
  • Trained and ready to go. If you’re well-trained and confident in your ability, check to see if there is a pulse and breathing. If there is no breathing or a pulse within 10 seconds, begin chest compressions. Start CPR with 30 chest compressions before giving two rescue breaths.
  • Trained but rusty. If you’ve previously received CPR training but you’re not confident in your abilities, then just do chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 a minute. (Details described below.)

The above advice applies to adults, children and infants needing CPR, but not newborns (infants up to 4 weeks old).

CPR can keep oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs until more definitive medical treatment can restore a normal heart rhythm.

When the heart stops, the lack of oxygenated blood can cause brain damage in only a few minutes. A person may die within eight to 10 minutes.

To learn CPR properly, take an accredited first-aid training course, including CPR and how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED). If you are untrained and have immediate access to a phone, call 911 or your local emergency number before beginning CPR. The dispatcher can instruct you in the proper procedures until help arrives.

]]> Ethics for the Nursing Assistant https://training.fildinc.com/courses/ethics-for-the-nursing-assistant/ Tue, 16 Mar 2021 16:05:40 +0000 https://training.fildinc.com/?post_type=courses&p=82 Ethics for the Personal Care Assistant is consistent with the ethics identified for the certified nursing assistant (CNA). Please review the following as a guide for your position as a health care worker for FILD, Inc.

Diligently serving patients around the globe, certified nursing assistants (CNAs) are a compassionate and moral force on the frontline in healthcare. Acting unethically or unprofessionally as a CNA, however, can lead to disastrous consequences for every stakeholder involved. Patients may experience poor health outcomes, healthcare facilities may face severe financial and legal repercussions, and the CNA in question is unlikely to have a long or successful career in the field if they exhibit unethical behavior.

To avoid such outcomes, it’s important to adhere to a code of ethics and best practices in regards to professional conduct. Ethical guidance is a vital part of your role in healthcare. Following the advice provided below will help you provide the best possible care to the patients you will serve.

Higher standards of living and medical advancements are extending life expectancies in many countries to well above the age of 80.

Caring for, and having successful relationships with older adults often requires unique communication skills and strategies. Below are five tips for successful communication with seniors. Not all of these ideas may apply to your particular situation or the older adult(s) involved. Simply use what works and discard the rest. These ideas also presume that the relationship with the senior is relatively positive and that the senior is relatively cooperative”.)
