"Paramedic National Standards Self-Test, Fifth Edition, continues to be the most extensive, comprehensive, and challenging paramedic test-prep manual on the market. The questions and answers presented in this edition are primarily based upon the 1998 EMT-Paramedic National Standard Curriculum as set forth by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Department of Transportation (DOT)." "All questions and answers have been updated to reflect the 2005 AHA guidelines, with answers referenced to Paramedic Care: Principles & Practice, 2nd Edition; Essentials of Paramedic Care, 2nd Edition; Prehospital Emergency Pharmacology, 6th Edition; and Taigman's Advanced Cardiology (in Plain English). Additionally, this edition includes 96 new questions, related to entirely new subject matter, such as multiple-lead ECG analysis, fibrinolytic therapy eligibility considerations, capnometry, and the new AHA BLS guidelines. The book contains more than 1,600 questions in total."--BOOK JACKET.
