Book Description

Publication Date: September 23, 2007 | ISBN-10: 0131999877 | ISBN-13: 978-0131999879 | Edition: 5

This is the most thorough book available to assist Paramedics in their preparation for National or Local Paramedic Certification Examinations. This self-test book covers all possible questions that any paramedic may be asked on any exam, requiring users to demonstrate knowledge of the material, and teaches better test-taking skills. All questions adhere to the 1998 EMT-Paramedic National Standard Curriculum as set forth by the DOT, and for the 5/e have been revised to reflect the recommended changes published in the December 2005 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I was VERY impressed with the layout of this text. Without a doubt, this has got to be THE MOST comprehensive text I've ever laid hands on. Many of the questions are extremely challenging, and provide an incredibly good review for the ALS and seasoned BLS provider. Additionally, the text provides answer keys AND page keys that may be cross referenced in Brady's Paramedic Care: Principles & Practice; 5-volume series. This text is certainly one of a kind. A lot of work went in to this text, and I must admit that the long hours of preparation certainly paid off." — Todd Sheaman, EMS Instructor, Front Range Community College - Larimer Campus - Fort Collins, CO

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Study Aid, June 22, 2011

This review is from: Paramedic National Standards Self-Test (5th Edition) (Paperback)

This is a great study aid in prep for the National Registry test. Use it after the completion of your coursework to zero in on all the miscellaneous National Standard Objectives. Each chapter focuses on a single topic, and really tests your knowledge of overall paramedic education. What I found particularly effective was to couple this book with Barron's. Barron's is very, very similar to the actual questions and difficulty on the computer exam, while this book provides a more full and well rounded check on all the subjects that may be tested.

This review is from: Paramedic National Standards Self-Test (5th Edition) (Paperback)

I was so happy with this book. I reviewed it several times. Great questions, seen a lot of the same questions on my NREMT-P test. I would highly recommend this book at the beginning and go along through the whole class... I reviewed it at the very end of class several times as a cram session and I passed first try in only 70 questions. We even used it in the down time at clinicals.

The only thing with this book is that you will need the all Brady books and the AHA books to go with it. That is if you want a answer rationale to the questions. In the back with the answers it gives the page location in the Brady books.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (along with a lot of studying!)
