SCENARIO 1 – ADULT CPR

ABOUT THE SCENARIOS


You will need to complete three CPR scenarios:
 Part A: CPR, with use of an AED
 Part B: CPR with rotation of operators
 Part C: Placing a person into the recovery position.

PART A – CPR AND AED


A staff member calls out to you from another room at your workplace. When you go to the room you find one
of your colleagues lying unconscious on the ground.
A number of other staff have already arrived at the scene and are crowding into the room and around the
door to see what is happening.
Show your assessor that you can respond to this first aid situation.

PART B – ROTATION OF OPERATORS


Your assessor will have grouped you with a classmate. Demonstrate, using the adult manikin, that you can
safely rotate operators with your classmate. You must be the person who is doing CPR at the start of the
scenario.

PART C – THE RECOVERY POSITION


Your classmate will play the role of a casualty. Demonstrate that you can safely put this person into the
recovery position.

CONTEXT AND CONDITIONS OF THESE SCENARIOS


For Part A you will work with your classmates (a minimum of 4). You will play the role of the first aider.
Some other members of the group will play the role of staff who are at the scene.
For Parts B and C, you will work with a classmate – your assessor will pair you up before the assessment
begins.
You will work on an adult manikin for Part A and Part B.

You should ensure you have an understanding of the following processes prior to commencing these
scenarios.
 DRSABCD
 How to conduct a visual assessment
 How to place someone in the recovery position
 The secondary survey
 How to deal with a casualty who vomits

File Name: Assessment Resources April 2021 April 2022 1.0
 Safe manual handling when dealing with a casualty
 How to treat a casualty with respect
 Monitoring a casualty until emergency services arrives
 How to rotate operators with minimal disruption to CPR
 The recovery position
 How to provide an accurate verbal report to emergency services
 How to debrief after a first aid situation.

RESOURCES REQUIRED FOR THESE SCENARIOS


 An AED training device
 A first aid kit
 An adult manikin (placed on the floor)
 A phone
 Classmates to play the role of colleagues
 A classmate to be your partner for Parts B and C.
Part A Ans:
 A quick search for breath and pulse yielded nothing. You will need to start CPR to see if your co-
workers respond before emergency responders arrive. Test responsiveness by asking aloud, "Are
you okay?" and gently place my fingers on the sternum in the center of my chest.
 After a fall, the person may suffer a head injury and require additional medical care if the person
responds by moving or making noise. They may have had cardiac arrest, in which their heart
stops beating effectively due to a lack of oxygen in their brain cells. This can only be reversed
with CPR, which includes chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation (breathing).
 You rush into your bedroom as soon as you hear your phone ring and discover your colleague
unconscious on the floor. Checking breathing and pulse takes only a few seconds, but none. A
DEA will then be given to you by one of your colleagues after a few minutes of research in the
office.
 Stay calm and take the time to assess the situation if you are in this situation. People in the room
should first step back and allow you to perform CPR without endangering yourself. The pulse can
be detected by placing two fingers on the neck where the carotid artery branches off from the rest
of the neck. Begin chest compressions at 100 beats per minute (BPM) if there is no pulse and
continue until AED or help is available.
 As soon as chest compressions begin, you should call an ambulance and provide details of your
location and what has happened so far. To keep everyone calm, you will assess the situation.
The first thing you will do is check to see if someone has called 911, and if not, you will. If an AED
is required, make sure someone else has already started CPR. After checking his airway, you will
continue to monitor his breathing until help arrives.
Part B Ans:
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that healthcare providers perform chest
compressions at 100 to 120 per minute for adults in cardiac arrest.1 To ensure quality compressions, It is
important for the supplier to maintain good form and technique. The AHA also recommends that suppliers
rotate every two minutes to avoid fatigue.2 To safely rotate operators, the following steps should be
followed:

© Sydney City College of Management Pty Ltd RTO: 45203 CRICOS: 03620C Date Revision date Version
Page 7 of 29
File Name: Assessment Resources April 2021 April 2022 1.0
1. L Operator performing CPR should stop compression and verbally notify other providers that they are
about to change.

2. Operators not performing CPR should stand behind the operator's head and place their hands on the
CPR's shoulders.

3. The operator performing CPR must then place their hands on the other operator's hips.

4. Then both operators should switch positions, with the operator performing CPR currently behind the
man's head and the other operator currently performing CPR create.

5. Operators currently performing CPR should continue to compress at the correct rate, with good form
and technique.

Part C Ans:
When placing the casualty in the recovery position, it is important to ensure that the surface is firm so that
they do not roll or slip. Also make sure that the casualty's head is tilted back and the chin is up so that
their airway is clear. If victim vomits, turn head to one side to allow vomit to drain out of mouth and airway.
If the victim is unconscious, open their airway by tilting their head back and lifting their chin. If victim
remains unconscious, look for signs of life. If there are no signs of life, start CPR.

The recovery position is a safe position for the victim until help arrives. Placing the victim in the recovery
position ensures that their airway is open and that they are less likely to choke on vomiting. If the victim is
unconscious, you can always open their airway and check for signs of life. If the victim is still
unconscious, you can start CPR.

SCENARIO 2 – INFANT CPR

One of your colleagues comes to visit your workplace during her maternity leave. She has 9-month-old
twins. The babies are sitting on the floor playing together when one begins to choke. The mother panics.
She sees some small objects on the floor nearby – her baby must be choking on one!
The other baby is crying and distressed at the commotion.
Show your assessor that you can respond to this first aid situation.

CONTEXT AND CONDITIONS OF THIS SCENARIO


For this scenario, you will work alone with the infant manikin to demonstrate your ability to perform single
rescuer uninterrupted CPR for two minutes (five cycles of both compressions and ventilations).
Some other members of your group will play the role of children and staff at the scene.
Your assessor will give you verbal instructions as to the specific details of the scenario (for example, the
status of the casualty).

You should ensure you have an understanding of the following processes prior to commencing this
scenario.
 How to manage choking, including back slaps, chest thrusts and mouth-clearing processes
 DRSABCD
 Consent to perform first aid
 How to conduct a visual assessment
 The secondary survey
 Safe manual handling when dealing with a casualty
 Monitoring a casualty until emergency services arrive
 The recovery position
 How to provide an accurate verbal report to emergency services
 How to debrief after a first aid situation.

RESOURCES REQUIRED FOR THIS SCENARIO


 An infant manikin
 A first aid kit
 A phone
 Classmates to play the role of colleagues and children
Ans:
Before giving CPR to an infant or child
Check for safety, make a first impression, get parent or guardian approval, and put on personal protective
equipment (PPE)
Check see if the child reacts if the child seems unresponsive)
To get the child's attention, call out his name if you know it. If the child is unresponsive, tap the child on
the shoulder and shout back while checking for breathing, bleeding, or life-threatening pain.
To get the child's attention, call the child's name if you know it. If the infant is unresponsive, touch the
soles of the baby's feet and cry again while you check for breathing, life-threatening bleeding, and other
life-threatening conditions.

CPR steps for a 9 month old baby
1. An infant or child should be placed on their back on a firm, flat surface.
2. For a child, kneel beside him.
3. For infants, stand or kneel next to the baby with the hips slightly tilted outward.
4. Do 30 presses
5. Place the heel of one hand in the center of the chest, with the other hand on top and fingers interlaced
and out of the chest.
6. Lock your elbows and place your shoulders directly on your hands.
7. Keeping your arms at your sides
8. At 100 to 120 per minute, apply strong and fast force about 2 inches at a rate of 100 to 120 pounds per
square inch.
9. Let the ribcage return to its normal position between compressions.
10. Use one-handed CPR in young children.
12. Place the heel of one hand on the child's chest in the middle.
13. At 100 to 120 pounds per minute, apply strong and fast pressure about 2 inches at a rate of 100 to
120 pounds per square inch.
14. Place both thumbs in the center of the infant's chest, just below the nipple line.
15. Use the rest of your fingers for support by holding the baby's chest back.
16. Using both thumbs together, forcefully and rapidly push down almost 1.5 inches at a pace of 100 to
120 per minute.
17. After each squeezing, permit the chest to continue its usual position.
- Alternatively, use the two-finger approach on a baby.
18. Place two parallel fingers in the center of the chest.

19. Consider a one-handed approach for babies if you can't reach a depth of 1 1/2 inches.
Allow two breaths
20. Using the head tilt/chin lift method, widen the child's airway to a slightly over-neutral position.
21. Using the head tilt/chin lift technique, open the infant's airway to the neutral position.
22. Blow into the child's mouth for about one second.
23. Ensure that each breath lifts the ribcage
24. Let the air out before inhaling again.
25. Before taking the second breath, reorient the head and make sure to keep it well closed if the first
breath does not inflate the chest. If the thorax does not rise after the second breath, there may be a
foreign body restricting the airway.
26. Repeat the cycle of 30 chest compressions and 2 breaths until:

- You see clear signs of life


- The AED is working.
Another qualified worker is on hand to take on the cuts if necessary. EMS staff arrives and begins
treatment You are too exhausted to continue. The situation is becoming increasingly risky You have been
practicing CPR for about 2 minutes (5 sets 30:2), you are caring for a newborn baby alone and you have
to dial 9-1- first

SCENARIO 3 – ALLERGIC REACTION/ANAPHYLAXIS

It is your birthday – you and your colleagues are having a morning tea to celebrate the fact that you are
getting another year older! You have cake, drinks and a big bowl of nibbles.
Towards the end of the morning tea, one of your colleagues says they aren’t feeling right and they start
to cough a little bit. Their voice sounds hoarse and they say they are starting to feel itchy on their upper
back.
They mention they have some anti-histamines at their desk, as they suffer from hay fever.

CONTEXT AND CONDITIONS OF THIS SCENARIO


For this scenario, you will work in small groups.
You will each need to play the role of the first aider. You can take turns playing the role of bystanders and
the casualty.
As part of this scenario you will need to show that you can monitor the casualty for signs of further allergic
reaction. You will also need to show you can administer an adrenalin auto-injector to someone who is
suffering an anaphylaxis attack from a food allergy.

You should ensure you have an understanding of the following processes prior to commencing this
scenario.
 How to make casualties comfortable and monitor their status
 Consent to perform first aid
 How to conduct a visual and verbal assessment
 What to check prior to administering an adrenalin auto-injector
 How to administer an EpiPen
 Treating casualties with respect
 Monitoring a casualty until emergency services arrives.

RESOURCES REQUIRED FOR THIS SCENARIO


 A phone (this can be a mobile phone or landline phone on a desk, for example).
 A box to simulate a packet of anti-histamines.
 A glass or bottle of water.
 A training EpiPen.
Ans:
I will use the following procedures to ensure I provide better first aid care;

Place individuals flat on the ground. They can sit on the floor if breathing is difficult.
The auto-injector must be removed from the transport hose. Avoid touching the tip of the orange with your
finger or thumb.
Hold the adrenaline auto-injector firmly in your fist along the orange tip covering down and pull the blue
safety trigger.

Place the orange tip against the outside of the mid-thigh while observance the leg still. Hold the auto-
injector at a right angle to the outside of your thigh.

The drug can be injected through clothing, but pockets and seams should be avoided.

Press hard until I hear or feel a click.

Hold for 3 seconds.

Remove the adrenaline auto-injector.

Monitor the time of injection.

Need to call an ambulance and administer first aid for anaphylaxis.

If there is no response 5 minutes after the first dose, an additional dose of adrenaline may be given.
It's best to give an adrenaline auto-injector if you don't know if someone needs it. Anaphylaxis can be fatal
if not advised quickly.

If you are not sure if the person is having an asthma incursion or anaphylaxis, start with the adrenaline
auto-injector, followed by the asthma medication. Dial triple zero (000) for emergency care and maintain
first aid for asthma and anaphylaxis until an ambulance arrives.

DEMONSTRATION 1: ENVENOMATION
Show your assessor that you can provide first aid to a person who has been bitten by a snake, using the
pressure immobilisation technique.
Ans:
Recommended pressure immobilisation for:

bites of all snakes in Australia, including sea snakes


funnel spider bites
blue-ringed octopus bites
cone shell bites

jellyfish stings
fighting fish and other fish stings
bees, wasps and ants stings
scorpions, centipedes, beetle stings

Keep the bitten person as still as possible. If possible, lay the patient down to prevent the patient from
moving or moving.
Put a firm bandage over the bitten area (preferably a wide elastic bandage if available)
Then cover the entire limb (shoulder fingers or toes on the hip) - the bandage should be as tight as for a
sprain ankle.
Attach a rigid splint to the limb (piece of wood, twig, or rolled up paper)
Hold still while waiting for ambulance to arrive to transport to the nearest hospital emergency room.

DEMONSTRATION 2: BASIC WOUND CARE


Show your assessor that you can provide first aid to a person who has grazed their knee.
Ans:
CLEANING WASH
Once the bleeding is under control, it is important to clean the wound. This will avoid infection and aid in
faster healing.

One of the fastest and easiest ways to clean a wound is to use a simple cotton swab available at the
APTS first aid store. If dirt or debris is on the wound, it can be removed by rinsing with a saline solution or
applying tweezers.

COVER THE WOUND


Skinned knees are known to be difficult to cover due to the large surface area of the wound and the
constant movement through the joint. Fortunately, the Aerofix Island Dressing line is perfect for the job.
They contain a non-stick pad to cover the wound and a flexible, high-adhesive bandage. This combination
provides excellent comfort and very effective wound protection.

CONTINUOUS CARE

Page 16 of 29
File Name: Assessment Resources April 2021 April 2022 1.0
These wounds usually heal quickly without further intervention. If there are signs of infection or the wound
is not healing, see your GP.

If the dressing becomes wet or dirty, change the dressing until the wound heals. After a few days, you
should remove the bandage and let the wound heal on its own to allow it to heal.

BUY A First Aid KIT AND SUPPLY


All of the items mentioned in this blog can be purchased on the APTS online store for a fraction of the
price you would expect to pay at the pharmacist. Visit https:
//store.auspactraining.com.au/ to order and view in full

DEMONSTRATION 3: BLEEDING CONTROL


Show your assessor that you can provide first aid to a person who cut their hand with a kitchen knife.
Ans:
First aid for cuts
Very sharp kitchen knives. If you're not careful, you might slip and cut your finger instead of that carrot.

If you cut yourself with a kitchen knife, here's how to delicacy the wound:

Clean the wound with soap and water. Apply squeeze to the cut with a clear cloth or plaster for a few
minutes to block the bleeding. If you bleed through the tissue, place another pad on top.

Use an antibacterial balm. If it's a minor wound, apply some to the cut. Cover the area with a plaster or
gauze and bandage.

Go to the emergency space if bleeding is profuse or does not stop after 5 to 20 minutes of direct squeeze.
If the cut is larger than half an inch, has jagged edges, is inflamed, or is draining, you should also see
your doctor.

DEMONSTRATION 4: SPRAIN/STRAIN
Show your assessor that you can correctly provide first aid to a person who has a suspected sprain or
strain of the ankle.
Ans:
R.I.C.E. should be used for the first 48 hours following the injury:

Rest: Continue to rest the wounded area until the discomfort subsides.

Ice: Immediately apply an icepack or cold compress to the damaged area by wrapping it in a towel.
Continue four to eight times each day for no longer than 20 minutes at a time.

Compression: For at least two days, support the hurt area with an elastic compression bandage.

Elevation: To reduce swelling, raise the affected area above heart level.

DEMONSTRATION 5: FRACTURE
Show your assessor that you can provide first aid to a person who has fractured their forearm.

Page 17 of 29
File Name: Assessment Resources April 2021 April 2022 1.0
Ans:
First of all, do not move the person unless necessary to avoid further injury. Take the following steps
immediately while waiting for medical help:

Stop bleeding. Cover the wound with a sterile bandage, clean cloth, or clean clothing.
Immobilize the injured area. Do not attempt to realign the bone or push back the protruding bone. If you
have been trained in splints and don't have expert help available, apply splints to the area above and
below the fracture sites. Cushioning in the brace can help reduce discomfort.
Apply an ice pack to control swelling and help relieve pain. Do not apply ice directly to the skin. Wrap the
ice in a towel, piece of cloth, or other material.
Treatment in case of shock. If the person feels weak or has shortness of breath, lay them down with their
head slightly lower than their body and elevate their legs if possible.

DEMONSTRATION 6: SHOCK
Show your assessor that you can provide first aid to a person who has gone into shock.
Ans:
If you think someone is in shock, call 911 or your local emergency number. Then, immediately do the
following:

Lie down and slightly raise your legs and feet, unless you think this could cause pain or other injury.
Hold the person still and do not move them unless necessary.
Initiate CPR if the person shows no signs of life, such as not breathing, coughing, or moving.
Loosen tight clothing and, if necessary, cover the person with a blanket to prevent cold.
Do not give the person anything to eat or drink.
If you suspect the person is having an allergic reaction and you have access to an epinephrine auto-
injector, use it according to their instructions.
If the person is bleeding, keep pressure on the bleeding area with a towel or sheet.
If the person vomits or starts bleeding from the mouth and there is no suspicion of a spinal injury, turn
them on their side to prevent suffocation.
