The question remains unanswered...Why the decrease in HR secondary to the medication?
The original questions did NOT state beta-2 specific, just "beta". But let's say it is beta-2 specific, why the decrease in HR? You said it specifically, that the HR decreases AFTER the bronchospasm is...

I am also a test bank writer for the NREMT and discussed this with Rob Wagoner directly, and he affirmed what I am saying and teaching.
Go to https://www.nremt.org/nremt/about/exam_coord_man.asp and find the level that you are testing for, THE WRITTEN, and download the NREMT...
WTEngel, I agree. Just trying to think through WHERE this instructor is going with this, because in the 20 years of teaching this stuff, this is the first time I have seen someone make that leap.
AHA and Skills Sheets
I am a test bank writer for the NREMT and my biggest recommendation is to know the most recent NREMT skills sheets. The written exam is based on the "practice" of the medic, and the skills sheets are where the NREMT explains how they want you to practice.
The other thing...
Know your skills sheets for the written!

Bad question
Wow! What a question. My first guess is that the instructor wrote the question wrong, and there aren't enough details. Is this pure beta 2 or is it just a beta agonist, in which case it is 1 and 2!
But if we want to assume it is correct, then I follow the lot of the other...

Allow me to shed some light on the Paramedic Prep.
The other college courses are a HUGE benefit when applying to and being successful in medic school, and some are even required. Many medic programs don't require prep classes. Locally however, Saddleback College, Daniel Freeman, and PTI all...

That is called opportunity cost. What will be really frustrating is when you start your new job and absolutely hate it and then meet someone at the job you turned down and they love it.
There is more to a job than FT and PT. Does the FT job have potential for growth, raises, sponsoring...
What you want is NOT a paper guide or study text, that what your textbook is for. You want to review the context of the test as well as the content. The printed guides do a disservice because you can go back and forth between questions. You also cannot get the full experience of the computer...
They also just updated all of their skills sheets, and they definitely are more critical thinking instead of rote steps. For example, the old EMT Medical Assessment gave lists of questions for each of the major emergencies. GONE! They want us to be able to critically think and understand...
I did their company's OCEMS EMT Accreditation for them to get approved to run calls in OC, so they are trying to expand. It seems to be anyone's guess as to which agency gets which fire contracts at any given time. They have a large fleet hidden in their giant warehouse. If as big as it is...
