Master PT assessment. You will only get out of this class what you put into it. Also, find a dedicated study partner.

Man is that ever a true statement!!!!

I agree

I'm in second semester EMTIV. You are correct on cooling the PT but on the multiple choice you 2 answers that could be correct and 2 that are wrong. The 2 possible correct answers are not the best options we would go for in the field.

That is what I selected but the options which I can't post are not that clear. It gave a lot of very vague options. Thanks for your help.

They want to know what is the most appropriate care for this PT when you arrive after your first impression.

I know the scenario stinks but this is all I have. This is right out of the book.

Hey partner you chimed in on my discussion. Your sarcisim is not wanted or needed by any of us.

Sorry medic417! Didn't mean to step on your privates!!!!

I totally agree. I am currently in EMT IV second semester at a community college in Tn. our entire second semester is hands on with the exception of Fisdap exams and clinical.

Does anyone have any opinions on these EMT classes that are offered online. Is this as good as actually going to class? I have a couple of friends that are taking this online with a company called Percom out of Texas but we are located in Tennessee.

Our first semester my instructor gave us the exams that he wrote himself. They were incredibly hard. In the second semester we have to do skill checkoffs, IV checkoffs, clinical, and this FISCRAP!!

My instructor says we have to make a 80 on the fisdap test to pass the second semester. We have our first test tomorrow night, the first 4 test are 10% each and the fisdap final exam is 50%. Are the fisdap test hard? Anyone have any advice on how to study for these test?

The AIS was originally designed to stratify victims of motor vehicle crashes. On its own it's not designed to provide any outcome prediction. That is exactly what the Glasgow coma scale was designed to do when you convert it to trauma.

Oh and raw trauma scale!!

Glasgow trauma scale, pediatric trauma scale, how the hell do you remember this stuff??? Ugggg!!!

The lense comes off of the gauge and the meter itself gets twisted and I have to turn it back to zero. It just makes me question it's reliability.
