Synopsis

REA’s EMT Basic Premium Edition Flashcard Book with CD

Hundreds of Must-Study Questions and Answers!

REA’s Flashcard book for the EMT-Basic exam helps students check their test-readiness before taking this crucial test. Our flashcard book is the perfect refresher and offers a quick and convenient way to practice answering questions. Written by an expert in the fire and EMS arenas, these flashcards give students full scenarios to evaluate in a multiple-choice format, just like the actual test.

This recommended study aid contains more than 300 must-study questions that cover all official test categories found on the EMT-Basic exam, including Airway & Breathing, Cardiology, Medical, Obstetrics & Pediatrics, and Trauma. Our handy icons help students locate questions by subject, so they can review and test their knowledge in specific areas. The book also includes fun facts about the medical/EMT profession and its history.

This Premium Edition with CD-ROM also contains four timed quizzes with detailed explanations of answers to challenge test-readiness. As an added bonus, we’ve also included four full-color anatomy charts covering:


* Anatomy & Physiology
* The Skeletal System
* The Cardiorespiratory System
* The Muscular System

Unlike most flashcards that come loose in a box, our flashcards are bound in an organized, portable book that makes studying a breeze. Students can write their answer on the front of the card, and then compare it to the answer on the back of the card. This concise question and answer format makes it easy to find the right answer, and we even give details explaining why the answer is correct.

Fully indexed for smarter study, this book is an indispensable asset for anyone preparing for the EMT-Basic test!
