About this resource
This quiz focuses on Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) pharmacology and medication administration, covering essential drugs used in prehospital emergency care. The content is designed for post-secondary students enrolled in EMT certification programs, typically found at community colleges or vocational schools. Students need a solid foundation in anatomy and physiology, particularly cardiovascular and respiratory systems, along with an understanding of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The quiz assesses critical thinking skills related to medication contraindications, proper dosing calculations, and the physiological mechanisms of emergency medications including nitroglycerin, aspirin, epinephrine, albuterol, naloxone, and oral glucose. Students must demonstrate mastery of adrenergic receptor physiology (Alpha 1, Alpha 2, Beta 1, and Beta 2 effects) and apply the fundamental principles of safe medication administration through the five rights of medication administration. Created by Cameron Comeaux, a Specialty teacher in the US who teaches grade 13. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool for EMT students preparing for state certification examinations and real-world application of emergency medications. The content supports both classroom review sessions and homework assignments, allowing students to practice critical drug calculation skills and reinforce their understanding of when and why specific medications are administered in emergency situations. The quiz effectively prepares students for practical scenarios they will encounter in ambulances and emergency departments, making it valuable for both midterm reviews and final exam preparation. The material aligns with National Emergency Medical Services Education Standards for EMT-Basic programs and supports competency-based learning outcomes required for EMT certification at the state and national levels.
