Description (≈150 words)
The JB Learning Paramedic Exams Study Guide is a comprehensive exam preparation resource
designed to support paramedic students preparing for JB Learning–based assessments and
final examinations for the 2026/2027 academic cycle. This guide includes complete exam-style
questions with verified correct answers, aligned with JB Learning paramedic curriculum
standards and EMS education objectives. Key topics include patient assessment, airway and
respiratory management, cardiology, trauma care, medical emergencies, pharmacology,
obstetrics, pediatrics, and EMS operations. Emphasis is placed on clinical decision-making,
critical thinking, and application of evidence-based prehospital care principles. Clear, detailed
explanations reinforce understanding, improve test-taking skills, and enhance confidence in
both academic and field performance. Updated to reflect the newest guidelines and
educational standards, this study guide is ideal for comprehensive review, exam readiness,
and successful paramedic certification outcomes.

According to the terminal drop hypothesis:
mental function is presumed to decline in the 5 years preceding death.
All of the following physical changes occur in school-aged children, EXCEPT:
their vital signs become the same as adults'.
An infant's fontanelles are typically fused together by the age of?
24 months
An infant's sleep pattern is developed through a combination of:
central nervous system development and parental efforts.
Anxious avoidant attachment is observed in infants who are repeatedly:
Rejected
As smooth muscles of the lower airway weaken with age:
Strong inhalation can collapse the walls of the airway, resulting in inspiratory wheezing.
Barotrauma caused by bag-mask ventilation in an infant means that you ventilations:
were too forceful
At two months of age, an infant should be able to:
track objects with his or her eyes
Basic language mastery typically occurs by what age?
,36 months
By the age of 1 year, an infant's tidal volume ranges from:
10 to 15 mL/kg
In contrast to infants, do toddlers have a slower or faster respiratory rate?
Slower
In general, normal psycho social factors that affect the life of a 35 year-old person include all
of the following, EXCEPT:
anxiety
In late adults, the size of the airway (increases or decreases?) and the surface area of the
alveoli (increases or decreases?)
increases, decreases
In most infants, the primary method of communicating distress is:
Crying
Patients between 41 and 60 years of age are LEAST susceptible to :
acute immunosuppression
Teething is commonly accompanied by:
fever
What reflex happens when an infant is startled and opens his arms wide?
Moro
The decline of cardiac function associated with aging is largely related to:
Atherosclerosis
Vascular compensation for changes in blood pressure decreases with age due to:
Reduced elasticity of the peripheral vessels secondary to decreases in elastin and collagen
What is the "low normal" blood glucose level in a newborn?
45 mg/dL
When assessing an older adult's pupils and ocular movements, you should recall that:
it is not uncommon for lens deterioration to cause the pupils to be sluggish to react.
, Which of the following factors typically does NOT affect the vital signs of a 65 year-old
patient?
Living conditions
Which of the following physical changes occurs in adults over 25 years of age?
Settling of disks in the spine
Which of the following statements regarding the nervous system function in the older adult is
true?
Cerebral metabolism and oxygen consumption remain constant throughout life.
You would MOST likely see an increased end-tidal CO2 reading in an otherwise healthy adult
because:
residual volume increases with age
...resulting in stagnant air remaining alveoli and hampering gas exchange
A medication that has a narrow therapeutic index:
can be given, but not without close pt monitoring
A paramedic gives a woman with chronic pain an injection of sterile saline and tells her that it
is a narcotic analgesic. The paramedic's action could result in:
criminal prosecution
A pt receives several doses of the same drug within a short period of time, after which point
the medication does not relieve his symptoms. What has MOST likely occurred?

in the pt's body after 6 hours/
62.5 mg
A(n) _________________ medication includes a "stem" that links it to the other medications
in the same class.
Generic
