You'll find the book easy to use, too, with definitions, causes, symptoms, and step-by-step procedures for all the injuries covered. Accompanying the information are more than 175 detailed illustrations. Plus, it provides the latest guidelines for handling blood-borne pathogens, the American Red Cross's "Check.Call.Care" response guidelines, and current nutritional recommendations. Sport First Aid (Updated Edition) is used by the American Sport Education Program (ASEP) and the National Federation Interscholastic Coaches Education Program (NFICEP) as a text for their Sport First Aid courses.
