Download or read book Wilderness First Aid Made Easy Sixth Edition written by Jeffrey Imel and published by . This book was released on 2022-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilderness First Aid Courses have been taught the same way for five decades. The course consists of a two-day, sixteen hour cram session. There is too much information to remember and the Wilderness First Aid schools do not provide any resources to enable graduates to review what they learned. In a study of students attending Wilderness First Aid courses, it was found that just four months after graduating, no member of study group were able to successfully pass a complete WFA skills assessment. Wilderness First Aid courses using traditional text books do not provide you with the knowledge retention resources to help you remember what you learned. Wilderness First Aid Made Easy is a textbook like no other. We transformed hundreds of pages of text into intuitive, easy-to-understand workflow diagrams. The workflow diagrams walk you step-by-step through the Primary and Secondary Assessment and empower you to identify and treat illnesses and injuries. You have probly seen and used workflow diagrams before. Workflow diagrams are visual representations of tasks, usually with arrows, shapes, labels and decision points. These diagrams illustrate the steps that a person takes to solve a problem or resolve an issue. Whether you are a student of the School of FIrst Aid or another wilderness medical school, you will find this book to be invaluable. This book will reduce note taking and stress allowing you concentrate on the presentations and demonstrations. During your skills practice, this book will allow you to practice the patient care process perfectly, building your knowledge retention, muscle memory and confidence. During your two-year certification, this book will be an excellent review tool that you can use to keep your knowledge current.
