This article is about students in Nevada who are learning how to treat injured victims with everyday materials. They are taught on how to treat a broken wrist with a textbook and how to make sure if they are first responding to a scene they have to make sure the scene is safe and calm things down that way it would be easier for the paramedics to come and help treat the patients. The CERT program was first developed in Los Angeles in 1895 . The CERT stands for community Emergency Response Team and students were taking part of the this program. In this program students learn how to administer basic first aid, control the bleeding of an injury or treat a patient for shock. They also learn how to put out small fires put out search and rescue missions, collect data and response to medical emergencies that may happen in the school. The main point of this article was to bring information about the CERT program and how its transforming the way basic materials are being used to help injured patients receive immediate care. I do agree with this article because its best to be safe then sorry. And training teens to be better prepared for serious life situations can only benefit them.
