scenario to role play.
2. Make copies of the First Aid Responder Worksheet (beginning on the third page of this document) for everyone

4. Tell the "responder" Cadets to visit each scenario station and complete the First Aid Responder Worksheet.
5. When the responder Cadets have completed their worksheets, have Cadets change roles and repeat the
exercise so that all Cadets complete a worksheet.
