No rating because, well, it's a CPR/first aid manual I've read for class. Not exactly something I'd rate, either for its readability or use of language or anything else. Required reading and all that.

A manual covering standard first aid and personal safety. The book can be used in conjunction with American Red Cross Standard First Aid and Personal Safety course, or read alone. The text incorporates information on personal safety and accident prevention, so that people can learn the causes of accidents and act to eliminate or minimize such causes.

A manual to accompany a course in emergency medical help. Used in conjunction with a series of video segments and learning activities, this manual is designed to increase your knowledge and skills. The manual contains all the material one will learn in class, only in a form that is easy to keep and use as reference whenever needed. The manual has highlighted information and material condensed in lists to make it easy to identify the critical points and to refresh ones memory. Photos, drawings, graphs and tables also present information in an easy-to-find form. Skill sheets give step-by-step directions for performing the skills taught in the course. Questinnatires provide a way for the reader to evaluate certain risks in ones lifestyle. The manual also contains articles of varying lengths to cover all the topics taught in class.… (more)

Covers prevention, identification of problems, field decision-making, treatment or care, to move or not, etc. Text augmented with photos illustrating procedures. Personal, Group, and Augmented Group First Aid Kit, and using "found" materials. With less than 1 trained person per thousand, in case of emergency, even in a city, fundamental training should be obligatory.
