Error on the Test

[Riley]

Anybody else have a messed up test question on the NREMT-B. It went along the lines of...
... Male patient 65 years-old....

A. Blah blah
B. Blah blah.
C. Blah help her blah
D. Blah Blah

Yes, it changed the gender in one of the answers. It was kind of amusing and I had to reread it twice to make sure it was actually there.

Maybe it was intentional to see if you are paying attention to detail Perhaps another answer Blah Blah was right?

Not NREMT-B

This wasn't the NREMT-B but the Connecticut EMR cert test had mistakes nearly each page, whether it was grammar, changing gender or simple factual errors. Furthermore the test was using protocols that were at least 10-15 years old, not what is recommended anymore! (i.e. direct pressure, pressure points, and elevation before tourniquet)
