First Responder: Your First Response in Emergency Care

This text covers all information included in the US Department of Transportation (DOT) First Responder National Standard Curriculum. Some 30 skill drills present step-by-step instructions for procedures, illustrated with color photos at each step. Trauma photos prepare students to handle a real-life emergency. Other learning features include knowledge and skill objectives, margin key terms, icons noting advanced material beyond the DOT curriculum, first person accounts, and side bars on special populations such as elderly or pediatric patients. This third edition is revised to reflect the latest Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiac Care Guidelines. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
