ASHI Emergency Medical Responder Student Book by Pearson - 11th Edition

Characteristics of this EMR Book:

Train each student to think like a true EMR

Emergency Medical Responder, the leader in the field, provides first responder-level training for emergency, fire service, law enforcement, military, civil and industrial personnel. Based on the new National Emergency Medical Services Education Standards for Emergency Medical Responders and also includes the 2017 Focused Updates from the American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and First Aid.
For consistency with the most recent industry standards, the 11th Edition has been completely revised. Additionally, it covers brand-new topics that were recently added to the emergency medical responder programs

Fundamental EMR skills and knowledge

• Each chapter covers the most recent evidence-based medical practices, with a focus on the "why" of patient presentation.
• 90 photo scans are used to illustrate step-by-step techniques, providing the reader with a rapid reference guide.
• The First on Scene Run Review feature, which appears at the end of each chapter, contains critical-thinking questions about a specific First on Scene scenario. Students are asked to reflect on how they might have handled the situation better.
