"This is the self assessment companion book to Emergency Care: A Textbook for Paramedics. The book consists of 21 "Papers", 20 of which are keyed into Emergency Care and test principles described in specific chapters of the textbook. The final Paper is a general test from across the book. Each individual Paper contains questions in a variety of common formats: multiple choice, short-answer questions, picture tests and case histories. Full answers immediately follow each Paper, allowing the reader either to work systematically through as they read the textbook, or focus on particular topics." "This volume provides a handy and effective way for paramedics and all others involved in the provision of pre-hospital care to gauge their level of expertise in every aspect of the field."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
