This lesson satisfies the 'basic first aid' orientation topic by building your awareness of how to respond in an emergency. Important: it does not certify you in First Aid or CPR — hands-on certification must be earned in person through the American Heart Association or American Red Cross. You'll learn how to stay calm and keep a scene safe, recognize common first aid situations, know when to call 911, use each person's emergency information, and report afterward.
