Summary

Thoroughly revised and updated, the Workbook for EMT Prehospital Care, Revised Third Edition, reinforces the basic principles and skills needed to pass the National Registry or state EMT-Basic examination-and to successfully practice in the field. Outstanding features include: Approximately 1,950 questions in a variety of formats-including multiple-choice, true/false, matching, fill-in-the-blank, and case studies-help you learn and understand essential EMS concepts. Case studies in every chapter help you picture yourself as a "street EMT," responsible for the complete care of the patient. You identify the treatment order and priority for simulated patients-just like in the field! Complete coverage of the cognitive objectives of the National Standard Curriculum for the EMT-Basic gives you the knowledge and critical thinking skills you need for success in exams and in the field! Anatomy labeling questions, crossword puzzles, and a CPR Review make reviewing convenient and fun. National Registry Skill Sheets are included in an appendix to aid in skills review and practice.
