19、 do first aid before the doctor comes.Step TaskShow the following passages on the screen. Let the Ss read them and then talk about how to do first aid for drowning.Most children enjoy playing in water in hot summer. Its messy and noisy and fun. Water can also be dangerous. Its hard to remember that
20、something so enjoyable can also be deadly. Take the time to protect your children from the dangers of water a playful friend that can steal their lives in mere minutes. More than 1,000 American youngsters drown each year. Neighborhood swimming poolsAbout 300 children under the age of 5 drown each ye
21、ar in U.S. swimming pools. At the time of the incidents, most victims were being supervised by one or both parents. Nearly 70 percent of the children were not expected to be near the pool when they were found in the water.It takes only a few minutes for a child to drown. More than three-quarters of
22、children who drown at neighborhood pools are missing from sight for less than five minutes. Drowning is also a silent death. There is no splashing to alert anyone that the child is in trouble.The key to preventing these tragedies is to have multiple levels of protection. The following precautions ca
23、n help keep children safer around swimming pools:Fence it in. Pools should be completely surrounded by fencing material at least 4 feet tall. Chain link works well. A slatted fence should have no gaps wider than 4 inches, so kids cant squeeze through. Gates should be self-closing and self-latching.
24、The latch should be out of a childs reach. Install alarms. If your house is one of the walls of your pool enclosure, doors leading to the pool area should be protected with alarms. In addition, add an underwater pool alarm that sounds when something hits the water. Make sure you can hear the alarm i
25、nside the house. Cover it up. A motor-powered safety cover can provide a barrier over the water when the pool is not in use. The cover should withstand the weight of two adults and a child in case a rescue is needed. Choose an above-ground pool. Above-ground pools are much safer than in-ground pools
26、, because the height of the pool serves as a barrier. However, you should remove the steps or lock them behind a fence when the pool is not being used. Teach children to swim. But remember that swimming lessons wont drown-proof your child. The age to teach children to swim is the same as to ride a b
27、ike, age 5. Children under the age of 4 usually arent developmentally ready for formal instructions in swimming. Remove toys. Dont leave pool toys bobbing in the water when no one is using the pool. Children may try to retrieve a toy and fall in. Keep your eyes peeled. Never leave a child un-supervi
28、sed near a pool. During social gatherings near pools, adults can take turns being the “designated watcher.” Natural bodies of waterSwimming conditions are unpredictable in lakes, rivers and oceans. The depth can change rapidly, as can water temperature, currents and the weather. Murky water may conc
29、eal hazards. Follow these tips to be safer:Dont swim alone. Teach children never to swim alone or without adult supervision. Wear a life jacket. Children should be required to wear a personal flotation device whenever riding in a boat or fishing, even along a river bank. Air-filled swimming aids, su
30、ch as water wings, are no substitute for a life jacket. Jump before you dive. The first rapid descent into any body of water should be a jump feet first. Diving into unknown water can result in a smashed skull or a broken neck. Avoid alcohol. Accidents increase with the amount of alcohol consumed. T
31、eenage boys are at highest risk. Beware of thin ice. Drownings can occur in the winter, too. Avoid walking, skating or riding on weak or thawing ice on any body of water. Look at the two pictures on the screen. Imagine that you are at the scene. What should you do? What first aid will you perform on
32、 the drowning? A possible answer:Your first priority is to get a drowning child out of the water as soon as possible. If she isnt breathing, place her on her back on a firm surface. Immediately begin rescue breathing, below, and have someone call for help. Dont assume its too late to save a childs l
33、ife even if shes unresponsive, continue performing CPR and do not stop until medical professionals take over.1.

If the chest doesnt rise, try again. Retilt the head, lift the childs chin, and repeat the breaths.4. Check for a pulse Put two fin
36、gers on your childs neck to the side of the Adams apple (for infants, feel inside the arm between the elbow and shoulder). Wait five seconds. If there is a pulse, give one breath every three seconds. Check for a pulse every minute, and continue rescue breathing until the child is breathing on her ow
37、n or help arrives.5. If you cant find a pulse Infants under age 1: Imagine a line between the childs nipples, and place two fingers just below its center point. Apply five half-inch chest compressions in about three seconds. After five compressions, seal your lips over your childs mouth and nose and
38、 give one breath. Children 1 and older: Use the heel of your hand (both hands for a teenager or adult) to apply five quick one-inch chest compressions to the middle of the breastbone (just above where the ribs come together) in about three seconds.
