4.0 out of 5 stars
Text is very easy to follow and understand.,
By A Customer
This review is from: First Responder: A Skills Approach (5th Edition) (Paperback)
I am a Des Moines Fire Paramedic and an EMS instructor. I use this text for class instruction. My students have found it very easy to understand and follow. It provides them with clear and concise information that is on their level of understanding. In this regard the authors have done a very good job in the way they have presented the text. I have used this text for three (3) years to instruct First Responder classes. So far all the students that I have had in class, that have taken the D.O.T. written exam, have passed the exam. The only problem that I have found with the text is that it now does not reflect the current D.O.T. protocols in regards to the use of an A.E.D. (Automated External Defibrilator). I found this to be confusing to the students and some have a hard time separating the two. As an instructor I do not find this a major problem but it would be a good change that I would like to see made in future editions. With this change I would give the text a five (5) star rating.
