It is ofutmost importance that the students demonstrate proficiency of the skill, cognitive knowledge ofthe steps to perform a skill, and a healthy attitude toward performing that skill on a patient.This is an opportunity for the instructor and assistant instructors to praise progress and redirectthe students toward appropriate psychomotor skills. The material from all preceding lessons andbasic life support should be incorporated into these practical skill sessions.MaterialsAudiovisual EquipmentUse various audiovisual materials relating to emergency medical care. The continuousdevelopment of new audiovisual materials relating to EMS requires careful review to determinewhich best meet the needs of the program. Edit materials to ensure that they meet the objectivesof the curriculum.First Responder EMS Curriculum/AIHA, July 2002 243
