Patient Assessment Practice Scenarios

Proficiency with the trauma and medical patient assessments are without a doubt the most difficult task for the student to understand and accomplish. It seems as though there is never enough time in the classroom for the student to get the "practice time" that they really want. Patient Assessment Practice Scenarios includes 200 EMS practice scenarios (100 trauma and 100 medical) that focus on the assessment process. The cases are scripted with color-coded scripts for the student and the proctor, allowing any willing participant to become the "proctor" of the scenarios. The book has many applications in the classroom, as homework, in a study group, and in a one-on-one setting. The practice scenarios are appropriate for ALS and BLS students and providers. The approach is similar to the National Registry Practical Skills examination process and allows students to "talk through" situations they will face in the field. The goal if this book is to provide cases varying in difficulty and nature to help the student become the best EMS provider possible.
