In my own point of view; reviewing all about the terms and fields of Civil Welfare Service (CWS) one (1) and two (2). Here are some of my statements and conclusion. LOL :-D

Nutrition is the science that studies the process by which living organisms acquire all the things for them to live. From this topic, I’ve learned what the roles of nutrients are, what are the vitamins needed by our body, and I also learned about the Food Guide Pyramid. I’ve learned what vitamin contents of food such as proteins obtained from meat and fishes. Vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium acquired from fruits and vegetables. I’ve learned what food should eat to maintain balance diet. I’ve learned what the importance of maintaining balance diet is. I also learned about the field of nutrients such as Macronutrients and Micronutrients. From learned about the functions and deficiencies of vitamins. Lastly, I’ve learned about the personal hygiene, the importance and the aspects of it.

Knowing Basic Life Support is very important, because it helps and teaches us how to execute CPR. It also enables us to help others from different emergencies, including accidents, such as suffocation, near-drowning, smoke inhalation, and poisoning and electrocution injuries. From this topic, I’ve learned when to stop and not to stop CPR. I’ve learned what are the signs of successful CPR, dangerous complication of CPR, the common CPR mistakes and also the types of CPR such as adult CPR and infant CPR. I also learned how to prevent choking by doing Heimlich maneuver for choking adults and choking oneself.

Doing activities or having drills from rescue 117 is also important. From this topic, I’ve learned how to execute proper rappelling, and how to use the related equipments. It enables us to help others from disaster.

First aid refers to the immediate, direct treatment of an injured person. Everyone must have knowledge about first aid; anyone with a basic understanding of medical treatment can administer aid at the first signs of trouble. It means that having knowledge about first aid can prevent the casualty from death for 50%. First aid is very complicated, because there are so many fields about first aid to know. From this topic, I’ve learned about the victim assessment or what we called the ABC of first aid. It is very important to have knowledge about first aid, because it enables us to help others to take them away from death, depends from the situation. First aid is widely used for emergencies such as common complaints, bleeding and wounds, burns and poisoning.

For water survival, our instructor teach us the basics for swimming such as gliding, free style, floating, back stroke and side stroke. Everyone must have knowledge about the water survival, because in such disasters like flash flood and tsunami, they can help their selves and others from drowning. You can also apply first aid I water survival when the casualty was drowned. From that situation, you’ll likely use CPR.
