Performance Evidence:

The candidate must show evidence of the ability to complete tasks outlined in elements and performance criteria of this unit in the context of the job role.

There must be evidence that the candidate has completed the following tasks in line with state/territory regulations, first aid codes of practice, first aid guidelines determined by the Australian Resuscitation Council (ARC) and other Australian national peak clinical bodies, and workplace or site procedures: managed, in line with ARC guidelines, the unconscious, breathing casualty including appropriate positioning to reduce the risk of airway compromise managed, in line with ARC guidelines, the unconscious, non-breathing adult, including:

performing at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer

cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (5 cycles of both compressions and ventilations) on an adult resuscitation manikin placed on the floor following the prompts of an automated external defibrillator (AED) to deliver at least one shock demonstrating a rotation of single-rescuer operators with minimal interruptions to compressions responding appropriately in the event of regurgitation or vomiting managed, in line with ARC guidelines, the unconscious, non-breathing child,

including:

performing at least 2 minutes of uninterrupted single rescuer

cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) (5 cycles of both compressions and

ventilations) on a child resuscitation manikin placed on the floor
