NAUI Instructional Techniques & Rescue Protocols 4

Question 1

Which of the following best describes the 'affective domain' as it applies to diver education?

Accepted Answer

Attitudes, values, and emotional responses toward diving

Answer

The affective domain addresses attitudes, values, and emotional states, including a student's confidence, respect for the environment, and willingness to follow safety protocols.

Question 2

When using supplemental oxygen on a diving accident victim who is breathing, what flow rate and delivery device should be used?

Accepted Answer

15 LPM via non-rebreather mask

Answer

A non-rebreather mask at 15 LPM delivers the highest concentration of oxygen (approximately 90%+) to a breathing victim.

Question 3

A NAUI instructor notices a student is consistently late with buoyancy corrections and over-breathes the regulator. Which instructional approach is MOST appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Provide immediate corrective feedback underwater using signals, then debrief on land

Answer

Underwater hand signals provide immediate corrective feedback; a detailed debrief on land allows for full verbal coaching and skill analysis.

Question 4

What is the primary purpose of a 'skills circuit' in confined water NAUI training?

Accepted Answer

To allow repetitive practice of multiple skills in a structured rotation

Answer

A skills circuit allows students to practice multiple skills repeatedly in structured stations, building proficiency through repetition.

Question 5

A diver on the surface signals distress by waving one arm. They appear exhausted but are breathing. What is the rescuer's first action?

Accepted Answer

Throw a flotation device or extend a tow line before making contact

Answer

A reach-or-throw approach is always preferred over direct contact; it protects the rescuer from being grabbed by a panicked diver.
