NZQA National Qualifications Services (NQS) has revised the unit standard listed above.

 

The review of this unit standard is planned to take place during 2008.

 

Date new version published                        July 2006

 

Planned review date                        December 2008

 

Reason for the revision

 

In March 2006, the New Zealand Resuscitation Council requested that NZQA make changes to the special notes and the range statement in performance criterion 1.2 to align with the latest guideline recommendations for assessment of a victim’s condition.

 

Main changes resulting from the revision

 

·               Special note 1 has been amended to refer to the 2006 version of the New Zealand Resuscitation Council Guidelines for Resuscitation Level 2.

·               The reference to rescue breathing has been removed from Special note 2.

·               The range in performance criterion 1.2 now reads:

          Range          responsiveness, airway, breathing.
