The newly revised Fifth Edition incorporates all the information a First Responder needs. The easy-to-read, step-by-step format has made this text a student favorite for over a decade. It meets the national standards set by the U.S. government and fully covers the D.O.T. Curriculum. The authors also include a variety of "enrichment" materials throughout the book as well as expanded coverage of common medical emergencies not covered in the D.O.T. curriculum.
