Editorial Review: Product Description: Updated to reflect the most recent tests and requirements, this manual prepares candidates for the Emergency Medical Technician Exam, a prerequisite for their qualifying license. Qualifications vary somewhat on a regional basis, but EMT certification is nationally recognized. This manual gives an overview of EMT duties and responsibilities and presents review questions with answers and explanations. Separate chapters cover patient assessment, medical/behavioral emergencies, obstetrics/gynecology, trauma, treating infants and children, and ambulance operation in emergencies. One full-length practice EMT Basic Exam that reflects the test administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation, is also included with answers and explanations. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very satisfiedI bought a used book, it looked like new, very clean and it got to me faster than the estimate delivery date...

I had better luck with the free "EMTB." web sites. Rating:  - Great Resource!I picked up this book to get a head start on studying for the EMT-B test. It is clearly written and goes over 25 chapters of information which is to be covered on the actual test. It is clear and easy to read. I really recommend this book if you want a jump start or supplemental material to review for the test.
