PUAEME008 Provide pain management

 

You are the sports trainer at a local juniors game when one of the players falls awkwardly and injures their leg. The player is in excruciating pain but the ambulance won’t be there for another 20 minutes. Ice won’t relieve the pain well enough and neither will ibuprofen. Wouldn’t it be nice to provide adequate pain relief until the ambulance arrives? This course provides participants with the certification to provide stronger pain relief until the arrival of medical or other assistance.
