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
