Paramedic Emergency Care Exam Review, Third Edition

Rating:
Summary: Excellent with the Brady text series
Review: First of all, no Paramedic review workbook I have seen is the best. That is why I can't give the book 5 stars. Each review book has its ups and downs. I recommend buying two different workbooks to study (especially for Nat'l Reg.)

This workbook is a perfect addition if you have the Brady text series. There are references to the page/book numbers in the answer section. This is helpful so that you can review the sections in which you feel you need more help.

The answers to the questions in the workbook are sufficient, especially because the reference pages are provided. However, in studying for Nat'l Reg, the answers could be better. I wish that the answers would include the rational behind why the other choices are wrong.

A downside is that the workbook goes into great detail. It has 56 chapters, including this sampling: ethics, gastroenterology, airway management, documentation, spinal trauma, neonatology, & HazMat. (If you are studying for NREMT-P test, you don't need to go into that great of detail.) But, if you are studying for quizzes in school, it could be helpful.

The book includes a CD, which is an excellent addition. It contains 2 180-question tests, which are in two different formats. One down side to the CD exams is that the answers aren't as good as they are in the workbook. The CD also contains other helpful information, such as a glossary and D.O.T. objectives.

Summary: Same as the Brady Text
Review: This book is not much better than having the Brady text. The answers are not explained and you can argue many of them
