Foster an understanding of how to serve ALL patients in real-life situations EXPANDED - Professional photos supply a combination of realistic and real-life emergency images to prepare students for what they will see in the field. NEW - Pediatric and Geriatric assessment, care and treatment is integrated throughout the text. This significant organizational change allows for each chapter to include patient scenarios that cover a range of ages, giving students continuous practice in considering age as simply a factor in their overall information gathering and assessment. NEW - The Patient Care feature that appears in clinical chapters has been fine-tuned to address Principles of Care FIRST , followed by actions that the EMT may need to employ in caring for the patient.
With this important development change, actions are not numbered because there is no one correct sequence for patient care. The EMT must continually base decisions and priority actions on the evolving condition of the patient. UPDATED - The Secondary Assessment chapter was reworked into three more focused chapters that cover specific aspects of the EMT''s role and care of patients. Street Scenes place book knowledge within the context of real-life calls. Questions within this feature prompt readers to test their knowledge using realistic situations. NEW - The Infectious Diseases and Sepsis chapter (Chapter 24) gives an overview of common infectious diseases that EMTs may encounter, describes the conditions that lead to sepsis, and provides signs that sepsis may be occurring. UPDATED and EXPANDED - The Operations section of the book (Section 7) includes new triage procedures and updated guidelines for handling incident scenes. Foster critical-thinking and decision-making skills Chapter Review sections include a summary of key points, key terms and definitions, review questions, critical-thinking exercises that ask students to apply knowledge, case studies, and more.
Decision Points call out key decisions that are made during assessment and care of a patient. Critical Decision-Making exercises appear throughout the text and help students learn how to make patient-care decisions while at the scene. Understand and go beyond the standards UPDATED - All chapters throughout the text conform to the most current American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Core Concepts list the key points addressed in each chapter to help students anticipate chapter content, and guide their studies. Chapter-opening Objectives are based on the National EMS Education Standards. DOT Objectives are listed and follow the DOT numbering system. Each chapter lists the US DOT objectives along with page references that make it easy to see where the objectives are covered. FYI sections broaden students'' understanding of individual topics and provide material that goes beyond the DOT objectives.
