Description
Practice questions with every answer explained
This test bank gives you 1,995 multiple choice practice questions built around the 39 chapters of Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured, Thirteenth Edition. Every question has four options, one keyed answer and a short rationale, so when you miss one you see the reasoning straight away instead of hunting back through the textbook for it.
Many of the questions put you on a call. A trauma patient has pale, clammy skin, a rapid weak pulse and an enlarging abdomen. A crew has to move someone too heavy for two responders. You read the situation, choose the best action, then check the rationale to confirm why it beats the other three.
Check that it matches your textbook
The 12th edition is easy to confuse with this one. It has 41 chapters, with Pediatric Emergencies and Geriatric Emergencies as separate chapters, so its chapter numbers do not line up with the 13th edition from Chapter 24 onward. If you have the 12th edition, see the questions below. Emergency Care by Limmer and O’Keefe is a different EMT textbook.
What the download contains
- 1,995 multiple choice questions, each with four options and one best answer
- The keyed answer and a short rationale under every question
- All 39 chapters, in the same order as the textbook
- The full test bank as one PDF (422 pages) and as an editable Word file
- Rather not work from one large file? The test bank also comes split by chapter, so you can open just the chapter you need
Questions range from anatomy and terminology to assessment, treatment and EMS operations. The BLS Resuscitation chapter includes questions written to 2025 AHA guidance, such as the choking sequence that alternates back blows with abdominal thrusts.
Studying with it
Because the questions are also split into one file per chapter, you can open only the chapter your class covered this week, answer it without notes and mark the ones you miss. Each rationale names the idea behind the answer, which tells you exactly what to reread. Before a unit exam, work through the chapters on the exam list. Before a cumulative final, the full PDF lets you move across the whole book, and the Word file lets you copy questions into your own review sheets.

Questions before you buy
I have the 12th edition. How do I use this test bank?
Chapters 1 to 23 line up directly. From Chapter 24 on, match chapters by title; pediatric and geriatric questions are spread through the test bank.
Does every question come with an answer?
Yes. All 1,995 questions have the correct letter marked, and each one is followed by a short rationale explaining why that option is the best answer.
What kind of questions are in the test bank?
All of them are multiple choice with four options and one best answer. Many describe a short patient or crew situation and ask what to do or what it means; others check definitions, anatomy and terminology from the chapter.
Can I study one chapter at a time?
Yes. The questions for each of the 39 chapters also come as a separate PDF file, so you can work through the chapter your class is on without scrolling through the whole test bank. The complete test bank in PDF and Word is included as well.
How and when will I get the files?
By email, to the address you use at checkout. Delivery usually takes a few minutes and at most a few hours after payment.
