EMT-Basic Review : A Case-Based Approach
Nagell, Kaye D.
Book Review:
"The authors deliver on their goal of helping students identify strengths and areas for additional study. EMT-Basic Review is useful for first-time students looking for a supplement and for current EMTs preparing to recertify."
"The authors’ purpose is to “help you focus on the most important ideas and identify areas in which you need additional study.” EMT-Basic Review is divided into 27 chapters, mirroring EMT-B course content. For example, the “need-to-know” airway management information is condensed into bulleted lists. Headings are: Anatomy, Ventilation, Breathing Control, Breathing Assessment, Airway Management and Supplemental Oxygen. Fifty multiple-choice questions, along with three scenarios, help readers assess factual recall and application of airway management knowledge. The answer key follows immediately—an improvement over flipping to the back of the book."
Book Review: Greg Friese, MS, EMT-B
