First Aid for the Community, Home, Wilderness and Disasters
is a one-unit class that is offered at De Anza fall, winter and spring quarters.
 Upon successful completion of the course, each participant will receive an American Red Cross certification in First Aid (valid two years).
We meet for only four sessions, not all quarter. To certify the Red Cross requires your attendance at all of each class session.
We finish before finals week and do not meet during finals week.
TEXTBOOK:
 the text is American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED participant's manual. You can download it to your laptop for free (or make a printed copy) at: http://editiondigital.net/publication/?i=64159
(You might need to 'refresh' the page when you get to it to make it load.)
Reading assignments:
The CPR/AED material in this text is different than the procedures taught in HLTH 57E, the De Anza Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Automated External Defibrillation for Professional Rescuers and Health Care Providers class, and I recommend you do not read those sections of the text.
Read pages 1-28, (part of the end of chapter one has different methods than are taught in HLTH 57E, CPR for the Professional Rescuer and I will describe the differences in class), 37-38, 71-150 and 163-171 (151 to 162 are optional and highly recommended for families/friends with asthma).
