Save your money, and use EMTB.Com. I used the 'Registry Review' link and it was almost exact to what the NREMT exam was. I only went 89 questions. You are probably over-thinking the questions. Just remember, A,B,C's, O2 and go! You are not a doctor so don't think like one. If you can get yourself in that mindset, then you will do much better! Good luck and keep us posted.

Don't think logically about the answers, there is more than one right answer. I am sure you know this. Also, think about the order of your skill sheets. EG.>

You have a pt. who has a severe allergic reaction, and complaining of difficulty breathing. She also states she has a prescribe Epi-Pen.

A. Administer Epinephrine, contact medical control.
B. Apply Oxygen via NRB at 15LPM.
C. Transport Rapidly and contact medical control for administration of a epi-pin.
D. Call a Hazmat team.

I bet a lot of you get this one wrong. This question was on my Final Exam..One of the few I missed. But that Final exam, was the one that made the most sense to me and thankfully I have a awesome instructor. Sense to me, meaning its a heads up to how this test is setup.

Answer is B. Logically, I am sure in real life, as this is how I was thinking. I would go ahead and prepare for the Epinephrine shot, and apply o2. I mean, if her airway is closing, and you notice signs of Anaphylaxis. The sense able thing to do first, is to give her, her Epi-Pen. Also, the test stating, in specific, she has a prescription.

I am correct about my assumption?
