Be prepared! "We can't all be Boy or Girl Scouts, but we can be prepared when danger, disaster, or emergencies strike?at home, on the road, in the wilderness, while boating, hiking, or camping," explains author Shirley A. Jones, MS Ed, MHA, EMT-P, RN.
Her newest title, First Aid, Survival, and CPR: Home and Field Pocket Guide, published by F. A. Davis Company, packs the information needed to respond to all kinds of first aid and survival emergencies into a compact, 237 page, spiral-bound, 3" x 5" book that is easy to read and easy to use. Its waterproof, write-on/wipe off pages will weather the toughest conditions.
From performing CPR on an adult, child, or infant to dealing with bleeding and shock, cuts and broken bones, heart attacks, emergency childbirth, poisoning, drowning, scuba diving mishaps, wilderness survival, and natural disasters such as tornadoes, wildfires, floods, and earthquakes?Ms. Jones's portable, waterproof guide explains what to do?and what not to do. She even discusses pet safety, describing how to assemble a pet first aid kit, perform CPR on dogs and cats, and keep pets safe during natural disasters and other emergencies.
An accomplished writer and health care educator, Ms. Jones also shares her expertise as a contributing expert on first aid, safety, and preparedness for Sharecare.com, the online medical information platform created by WebMD founder, Jeff Arnold, and TV personality, Dr. Mehmet Oz. She has worked in emergency medical services for over 30 years; served on the faculty of national conferences; and earned top honors from the American Medical Writers Association.
As a young girl, Ms. Jones learned to love and respect the outdoors during her frequent camping, boating, and hiking adventures with her father, always with the family dog at their side. "The valuable lessons my father imparted, be safe; take care of others; and treat your pet as part of the family, inspired me. Early in my career, I was a lifeguard, member of the National Ski Patrol, and teacher of first aid, CPR, and water safety."
"First and foremost, my concern is how to avoid emergencies. But since we can't always control our environment or circumstances, I want to provide the information that could minimize harm or injury, and even save a life," explains Ms. Jones. "Fear of the unknown intensifies during an emergency. My book helps to alleviate such fears. It may help someone who is cold and stranded to survive until help arrives. Its goal is to provide the knowledge needed to be safe, and to save a life."
