A friend of mine (no really, an actual friend, not me) just took the paramedic practical portion of the NRP in Atlanta the other day.
He had to retest a peds station because he "failed to give a rectal tylenol suppository" to a post febrile seizure patient.
When he talked to the proctors about the testing he was told that this (rectal tylenol) was a common skill in this area (he trained elswhere and moved there for a job with AFD) It is my understanding that NREMT is supposed to be a standard and not a local protocol thing.
The question of course is... where in the National Standard ciriculum is rectal tylenol administration??
If there are any NREMT folks hanging out on the forum how about weighing in on this.
(BTW he did paass his retest and got his NRP so all is well)
