For the BLS, I was torn between A and C. Only reason I considered A, is because during your scene size up, you consider requesting ALS assistance, and SSU comes before airway, therefore I said A.
Idk if this will help anyone, but my instructor told me in the NREMT they will always want you to act on the patient. So ALS while definitely something that should be done isn't you doing anything towards the patient themselves.
the fact that you confirmed the patient is unresponsive is determining your level of consciousness after that you would need to open an airway, my instructor told me if you don't have an airway you don't have a patient @@mrsterling6823
You are awesome. Everything you do on this channel has helped me as an EMT student. This is the first time in my life I have WANTED to learn more and further my education. Your channel is a great outlet for it. Thank you!
Great content. I just retired 22yrs of service Charlotte NC. I aged out at 62 so I took the retirement. I estimate I ran 36k 911 calls in my career. Took the NREMT in 2001. Right after state exam. I would highly recommend doin that. It’s fresh on ur mind everything u have learned plus u been studying hard for the state exam it’s all fresh in ur memory. To be honest the state exam scared my a lot more and seemed to be harder to me. I actually walked out of there feeling nauseous. I was much more relaxed for NREMT. I did do a little worse on NREMT but not that much. Anyway u have great points on everything u said. Very good advice
I’ve learned from you approach every question as you have arrived and got through your steps in your head, from bsi, scene safe and assessments. Makes everything easier
#Bonus - I failed my first NREMT so here I am. A lot of great information, but the best I heard was my biggest problem. "It's not about memorization, it's about understanding."
My EMT instructor gave us a cheat to taking scenario based exams that involved your hand but imma just type it out. Answer based on which comes first. BSI scene safety Airway Breathing Circulation Life threats Meds C-spine ALS he used a hand diagram to visualize it but remember it in whichever ways best for you
@@Whois85 yes but in the scenario based exams the life threats are typically one of of those three. Also maintenance of abc’s are essential in life support so you would need to address those threats too if you can proceed with transpo. Thats how I viewed it and it’s gotten me this far lol
I start EMT school Monday and I am so excited nervous and determined and dedicated all at the same time I am not that smart when it comes to stuff like this but I will study as much as I can every day until I know I will pass wish me luck and pray for me I hope I can do it I will do it
Another way of thinking of it on the first question the NREMT TEST goes by the patient assessment when you arrived on scene for the first question you arrests did your general impression and avpu so now we must open the airway before proving oxygen
yes i got open the air way thanks man you helped me with my school all i need to do is pass my state test if anyone is going to school get his course class yes it like 90 dollars but dang it helps alot because of the paramedic coach i learned the hear on one of his videos and got it like nothing in class i was saying everything right about the blood flow of the heart they called me a cardiologist hahahaha
Man I’ve been struggling with my NREMT but when you broke down the question like that? I feel like I get it now. It’s THE FIRST THING you do, but I was overthinking it a lot lol. Godless you man these videos have been helping out.
Hey Evan quick question, wouldn't the answer to the BLS question be call ALS? My teacher told us to follow the order of our skills packet for NREMT questions. On my skills packet, request ALS comes before opening the airway. Thanks man and I love your videos, I wouldn't have passed my class without you!
I get where you're coming from, my instructors were basically saying the same message. For us, they said to consider requesting ALS in conjunction with the scene size up. If you've already sized up the scene and considered it safe enough to enter, you would have already called for additional services. Meaning that the call ALS would have already been done before making contact with the patient.Or at least that's what the instructors in my area told me.
@@wildsage999 I agree but on that same thought process I feel if you already took vitals you would have already addressed the airway, its a very hard question.
The cardiac patient question: 2020 AHA ACLS algorithm (most current guidelines) says one of the five signs/symptoms to consider a patient to be unstable would be ischemic chest discomfort. So with there being chest pain, would that not mean unstable and go directly to sync cardiovert?
@@TheParamedicCoach Anytime! Keep up the work, literally all your stuff is educational, helpful and the way it is explained is awesome, it has helped me tons in my EMT class! Thank you!
Hello. I was wondering if you have any videos where you’d post a bunch of practice questions and give us a certain amount of time like nremt , to answer them then go over the answers at the end. Thank you
I agree that the best choice is vagal maneuvers, but you said the patient was stable, what about C.A.S.H? Wouldn't the chest pain and shortness of breath make them unstable? Just for my own clarification, getting ready to take paramedic NREMT. Thanks!
Thank God someone mentioned it. Chest pain is immediately unstable. Goodness. Adenosine is the correct answer in the field, but the only option that makes sense here is synchro cardiovert.
What makes an unstable patient? 1. Altered mental status 2. shortness of breath 3. chest pain 4. hypotension. Unless ACLS didn't have the current guidelines at the time of making this video, the ALS question had no correct answers.
Question 1. This is exactly the issue I had when I took and failed the NREMT the first time. If I already have the vitals, I should have already checked, cleared and secured the airway. This is where I felt "tricked" by questions. Are we supposed to put aside the prescribed flow of assessment?
Very good point. I think in this regard you almost have to separate the question's components in your mind. The question doesn't necessarily say that the EMT found those vital signs, it only says you found the PT unresponsive and with blood/vomit on the sheets. The questions then goes on to tell you the vitals so you can get a clear idea as the test taker. So for the first half, you imagine yourself on scene with the PT, then for the second half with the vitals, you use that information for test taking specifically. This is how I've come to understand it, at least. It is very tricky indeed
Hey Evan, love the content. I have my test tomorrow. But I was wondering, on the BLS question, why wouldn't you forgo "opening the airway" answer because the patient is breathing at a rate of 8 r/m?
Because the question hints that there's obstruction to the airway with the blood, vomit and resp of 8. If you blindly start positive pressure ventilation without first making sure the airway is clear, that would just end up forcing down any potential blood or vomit still in the airway down into their lungs. On the other hand if you put them on oxygen either with a BVM and NRB, it's the same issue with the BVM, and if the airway is obstructed a NRB isn't going to push adequate O2 and you're still running the risk of them aspirating on the blood and vomit.
Ok, if you get an oxygen tank question Do you use a non ferus wrench or a steel wrench Your alleys going to use a steel wrench when Opening the 2000 psi tank....so it doesent explode a fireball in you FACE! When running high flow of onThe main tank At 15 lpm your only going to have 5min So there is a toggle you can hit in the back... Or verbally tell the driver to go faster. When starting an iv the best place to start during a code is the foot (planter) the veins do not roll as much as the arms or hands... (Or you can just drill it)
Get an I/O DRILL AND PALPATE THE MID LATERAL TIBULA... IN THE MIDDLE of each leg. Your not going to have to get a vein in the foot. Their gone, their not going to feel it. Your gonna pass it buddy...right there with ya now!!!😃

Do you have a video of this for EMR?
Just took my NREMT Exam yesterday!! I am now a NATIONALLY CERTIFIED EMT!! Haven't even graduated highschool!
Congrats. I just got out of high school, yesterday actually, I'm currently trying to get into an VFD.
Young gun!!! Proud of you, congratulations 🎉
Great job!
good job 👏

For the BLS, I was torn between A and C. Only reason I considered A, is because during your scene size up, you consider requesting ALS assistance, and SSU comes before airway, therefore I said A.
Yeah I’m confused, doesn’t the scene size up and consideration of additional resources come before the primary assessment?
That’s also what I thought
Idk if this will help anyone, but my instructor told me in the NREMT they will always want you to act on the patient. So ALS while definitely something that should be done isn't you doing anything towards the patient themselves.

In almost every single nremt practical, the first thing you do is “call als”. They’re inconsistent between the psychomotor and the written.
I’ve learned from you approach every question as you have arrived and got through your steps in your head, from bsi, scene safe and assessments. Makes everything easier
You got this!

Such a great review session !! NREMT certified already but it’s always great to see your content !!!!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Please do a whole video on buzz words that way it’s easier to connect a word to an answer
My EMT instructor gave us a cheat to taking scenario based exams that involved your hand but imma just type it out.
Answer based on which comes first.
BSI
scene safety
Airway
Breathing
Circulation
Life threats
Meds
C-spine
ALS
he used a hand diagram to visualize it but remember it in whichever ways best for you
Wouldn’t life threat be before ABC ?

Did you pass???
Great teacher even you make the text books easy to understand

You are correct. Chest pain and SOB make this patient unstable from the get go. Please cardiovert this patient.

Very Good Explanation
Amazing

From the ACLS website on tachycardia chest pain is considered unstable. Would you change your answer at that point to cardioversion?
I take my test Wednesday
It’s worth it. Promise.

Who is the mad person that dislikes every video Evan posts??? lol
The ones who failed the nremt
Very well explained, thanks!
You're welcome!
The ACLS says one of the criteria for unstable is ischemic chest discomfort. Wouldnt this patient be unstable due to his chest pain?
Have you got any input on if the at home test is easier or harder than the in person test?
On the als question isn’t chest pain unstable ?
Your videos are so helpful!!!
Glad you like them!
Ok, if you get an oxygen tank question
Do you use a non ferus wrench or a steel wrench
Your alleys going to use a steel wrench when
Opening the 2000 psi tank....so it doesent explode a fireball in you FACE!
When running high flow of onThe main tank
At 15 lpm your only going to have 5min
So there is a toggle you can hit in the back...
Or verbally tell the driver to go faster.

LATERAL TIBULA...
IN THE MIDDLE of each leg.
Your not going to have to get a vein in the foot.
