Overview

Advanced EMT: A Clinical Reasoning Approach will help you complete your Advanced EMT course and ultimately obtain licensure. Drawing on the latest National EMS Education standards, the authors will equip you for care delivery grounded in the latest evidence-based guidelines. Rather than simply presenting facts, principles and concepts, they’ll challenge you to use clinical reasoning to solve patient care problems, preparing you to transfer your skills and knowledge into a future career.

The 2nd Edition covers the latest treatment guidelines and uses of medication, while enhancing content to support the clinical-reasoning approach. With a chapter-opening Case Study at the start of each chapter, you’ll be guided through real-life EMT emergencies. Then, at the end of each chapter, Case Study Wrap-ups reveal the clinical-reasoning process used by the Advanced EMT to resolve the problems in each case study.
