The Seventh Edition delivers: Current State-of-the-Art Medical Content. Emergency Medical Responder, Seventh Edition incorporates current medical concepts to ensure students understand assessment and treatment approaches that will help patients in the field. Clear Application to Real-World Medical Response. Each chapter includes four realistic case studies that challenge students to think critically and analytically and apply what they've learned.
