Trouble with scenario-based questions?

[EMTCLM]

Hey everybody! I'm preparing for my NREMT-B test coming up very, very quickly, and I'm having a lot of trouble learning how to answer and sort of decode if you will, these scenario based questions. Any suggestions? Thanks, I really, really appreciate it.

• Read the entire question and all of the answers, don't let yourself pick the first answer that seems right. Look over the material.
• BSI and scene safety. Remember the ABC's... Is manual cervical stabilization
  needed or should they be ventilated? Airway comes first. Do they have a sucking chest wound? Gloved hand. Load and go? ALS? ETC
• I've found that answering the questions using common sense goes a long way. Do not over think the question, use what you've learned along with a touch of common sense.
• Don't ever forget the high flow oxygen everyone gets a NRB at 15 LPM.

Pretty much what he said.. One thing that always helped me is not going back and changing my answers.. the first one is most likely the correct one. Your brain will remember something in particular and if you over think the question it can make it difficult to decide.. study and practice and remember the basics like non other.. with those you can pretty much get to the bottom of any question.. good luck
