How to Decode Scenario Questions

Tackling Scenario-Based Questions

Scenario questions are common on EMT and Paramedic exams. Read carefully, identify key symptoms, and eliminate obviously wrong answers. Focus on the patient's most immediate needs and apply the ABCs (Airway, Breathing, Circulation) approach. Practice active reading by highlighting or jotting down important details as you go.

Examples

  • Highlighting patient symptoms and vital signs to determine priorities.

  • Crossing out answer choices that don't address life threats.
