Description
This revised reprint is now updated to reflect the new 2005 emergency cardiac care guidelines. It offers a comprehensive review of all
major subject areas covered by state and national EMT-Basic certification exams. This manual presents real-life cases or scenarios, including
actual calls, and contains over 1,400 multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and true/false questions based on these cases. The questions
are based on the objectives included in the U.S. Department of Transportation's EMT-B curriculum and not on any specific texts, making
this a valuable resource for any EMT-Basic course.
