Critical Thinking Questions 1. Describe a situation in which an emergency helicopter might be used even through a hospital was not far away. 2.

Hopefully, this can give you some ideas.

Explanation:

1.  Teacher at gym while working out with team, falls over dead. No pulse.  EMS on the way and they know that the current hospital does not meet the needs of the patient.  Helicopter will take patient to nearest heart facility...

Wreck:  EMS working on getting patient out of car, but patient has to be cut out of car.  Based on their knowledge of car wrecks, patient will need specialty care and will be sent to hosp that can take care of issues.

2. Children who learn about how to call 911 have saved lives.  Parents and teachers work with students to understand how to use the phone and call 911.  They need to be able to call if they feel they are not safe; that is what we teach them in school.

3. If you think you saw something that resembles abuse, you should call.  IF they find out you knew and did not let someone know how to help then you can be liable for that child or person's life.

4. Mental health issues can and often do become a medical issue.  The two are intertwined together.  If a person is depressed, they could not be sleeping.  They could have trouble breathing during the night and not even realize how much they toss and turn and do not really sleep.  Some medical problems manifest themselves in mental ways.  You may feel dizzy or "clueless" about something - it could be medical - usually is medical and mental together.  

5.  Family could be codependent and want to help their family member by giving in to their "needs" and desires in a negative way.  The abuser can often say they want to die or kill themselves if you - the family member - don't help them get what they need.  If you are in the home with them, then everyone is impacted mentally, and even often physically.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
