Should every person be knowledgeable about basic life support? Why or why not? Think of emergency situations in where basic life support would be helpful.​

Sagot :

Every person should be knowledgeable about basic life support. The Philippines lies within the pacific ring of fire where most tectonic plates meet. Consequently, enormous active volcanoes can be found. While the geographical location of the Philippines seems to be beneficial for diplomatic interest, it has many disadvantage. We are prone to natural disasters such as typhoon, flash flood, volcanic eruption, and earthquake. We are also near the pacific ocean where strong typhoons were formed. The amount of super typhoon that we experience anually is to support this statement. Therefore, learning basic life support can be crucial to perform first aid treatment, in the moment of emergency. One example would be the current earthquake happenings. Being knowledgeable about basic life support will help you and your family to get proper and quick treatment to prevent infection, severe damages, and major conflicts.
