Summary

Thoroughly revised and updated, this easy-to-use study guide reinforces the basic principles and skills needed to successfully practice in the field. This exceptional workbook follows Mosby's Paramedic Textbook, 3rd Edition, on a chapter-by-chapter basis in an easy-to-use, self-pacing format. Chapters contain patient care scenarios, multiple-choice questions with rationales, review questions, matching, and fill-in-the-blank questions, and more. Also included is a thorough review of anatomy and physiology, basic math tutorials, and much more! More than 2,200 questions in a variety of formats - including multiple choice, matching, fill in the blank, labeling exercises, and short answers - help students learn and understand essential concepts. All questions have answers with rationales, and the answers are cross-referenced to the objectives in the book. Perforated flash cards (32 drug cards and 22 ECG cards) make reviewing convenient and fun. NREMT skills sheets are included to aid in skills review and practice. A new case study section called "Wrap it Up" features questions at the end of each chapter. Chapter summaries from the textbook reinforce key concepts.
