I was using the workbook for my EMT class when I couldn't help but notice how stupid some of the potential answers for multiple choice questions are. Here are some gems, stated as a complete sentence, with the answer portion bolded. Comments in parentheses.
When a patient begins to vomit, it is essential that you have a blood pressure cuff ready to go at the patient's side.
To determine a patient's skin temperature, the EMT-B should listen carefully with a stethoscope.
During the assessment of an infant or child patient avoid eye contact at all times.
(that's how they consume your soul)
If a patient stands in a corner of the room with fists clenched and screaming obscenities, you should challenge the patient in an attempt to calm him.
When suctioning a newborn insert the syringe about 22 inches into the baby's mouth.
(You'll know you've done it correctly once you penetrate the skull and see it coming out the back of the head.)

- I'm an EMT/CNA that just got hired as an ICU tech. I have a bit of experience in the PACU, OB-GYN, and as an amusement park EMT. I just finished my prerequisites for nursing school but due to financial situation will be working full-time for a while before going to nursing school. I live in a little house in the ghetto with the love of my life and two rescued puppies.

Hilarious. I wish I could have saved copies of some of the nursing exams, some of the choices had me almost falling out of my chair laughing. The needle one is my favorite.
Very funny. Found you from crzegrl. Love the last one (22inches)
