How many patient treatment and transport questions are on the NREMT?

the National Registry publishes a band rather than a count: Patient Treatment and Transport carries 20–24% of the examination. The examination is adaptive, so its length varies and no fixed number of questions per domain exists. The full-length test on this site deals 13 of the 60 scored questions (20–24%), which sits inside that published band.

Is this section timed?

Not on this page. These sets are for learning the material — each answer comes with an explanation straight away. When you want the whole paper, the full-length test runs the published clock. The real sitting is 70–120 questions in 120 minutes.

Are these real questions from the test?

No. Every question here is original, written to the published format. The real item banks are confidential and nobody outside the publisher has them.

An EMT believes a patient needs an intervention that is outside the EMT scope of practice. What should be done?

What this type asks

The second largest domain, and the one where scope of practice does most of the work. Managing the airway, ventilation and oxygenation; managing the cardiovascular and circulatory system; restricting motion of the musculoskeletal system where that is indicated; administering medication within the EMT scope; interventions specific to special populations; managing the transport itself; and handing over pertinent patient information to the people taking over. A large share of the wrong answers available in this domain are wrong not because they would not help but because they are somebody else’s intervention — the examinable line is between what an EMT does, what an EMT requests, and what an EMT hands over.
