2   List four types of information you should provide to emergency medical services when you call.   2. Identify four sources of information you can use to learn about the accident, injury, or illness.   3. Differentiate between clinical death and biological death.   4. What do the ABCDs of CPR stand for?   5. List five reasons for stopping CPR once it has been started.   6. List the four steps to control severe bleeding in the correct order of their use.   7. List five points that should be checked frequently to make sure circulation is not impaired after a splint or bandage has been applied.   8. What is triage? FIRST AID CPR
