The author’s thesis is how drowning is a leading global killer, particularly among children and young

adults. Worldwide, there are approximately 42 drowning deaths every hour and every day. This number

highly underestimates the real figures, even for high-income countries. Drowning involves issues that are

rarely or not found in any other medical situations. The from immersion to cardiac arrest, drowning

usually occurs within seconds to a few minutes. An early and effective rescue may stop the drowning

process, the need to resuscitate, and medical complications. This resource is valuable toward my learning

stretch because I became aware more information that I did not know prior to reading it. This article can

enhance my project by informing me that the use of propelling and floating equipment saves time with the

reduction of drowning deaths. An idea that it sparks toward my final product is lifeguards need more CPR

training.

The author’s thesis is the lack of public involvement and campaigning by a community and others to

teach the public CPR causes more and more people’s lives to be at risk everyday. The lack of public,

non-medical involvement can be involved primarily with three factors: apathy, fear of disease, and fear of

lawsuit. The benefit of a community offering classes can teach what causes sudden death, how to remove

an obstruction from someone's airway, how to check for a pulse, and other techniques. This resource is

valuable toward my learning stretch by enforcing how learning CPR is very helpful in a community. This

article can enhance my project by informing me that making efforts to teach the public how to perform a

basic form of CPR can increasingly help the prevention of drowning. An idea that this sparks toward my

final product is teaching others to do CPR. Some of the information is usable.

Analysis of Fatal and Non-Fatal Drowning in Australia."​ BMJ Open,​ vol. 8, no. 11, 2018​. ProQuest​,

The author’s thesis is how understanding the full burden of drowning is vital to resourcing and directing

prevention efforts. The author uses studies to compare profile of non-fatal drowning to that of fatal. There

is relatively little population-level research on non-fatal drowning. The study of this resource compares

data on fatal and non-fatal drowning in Australia. It also identifies key ratios, significant differences and

inform prevention efforts. This resource is valuable towards my learning stretch because it helps my

interest in identifying the best practice in minimising the lethality of exposure to drowning. An idea that

can spark toward my final product is documenting the fact of drowning is vital to ensuring that the issue is

fully understood and its prevention adequately resourced. All of the information is usable.

The author’s thesis is that ​Florida has the highest accidental drowning death rate in the nation for the one

to four year old age group. Florida is third in the nation for overall drowning death rates between 1999

and 2004, according to the Department of Health. Approximately three hundred and seventy-five children

drown each year within twenty-five yards of a parent. In some of those, the parent is actually watching the

child but misses the signs of drowning, according to Centers for Disease Control. The signs of drowning

can be easily missed by people who are not aware of them. This resource is valuable toward my learning

stretch by informing me with statistics. It can enhance my project by giving information about drowning.

An idea that it sparks toward my final product is to give me signs of drowning to inform other people

with. All the information is usable.

The author’s thesis is, children are most at risk because they feel that their house is safe, but there are

many possible dangers. The author uses statistics as evidence. It is often children who die in needless

drowning accidents in or near their home. There are three important ways that can help prevent accidents

at home. The first one is knowing the dangers in the home. The second one is knowing the dangers around

the home. The third one is how learning how to help can make the difference. This resource is valuable

towards my learning stretch because I was not aware prior to reading this article \of the ways to prevent

accidents at home. This article can enhance my project by informing others of how to prevent accident at

home. An idea that has sparked toward my final product is informing others to show their families how to

prevent accidents at home. The majority of this information is usable.
