determine an appropriate sample size.
What is retrospective research? - ANSWER-Retrospective research uses
available data, such as medical records, to analyze past events or trends.
What are some applications of retrospective research? - ANSWER-It can be
used to develop educational sessions for EMS personnel and plan public
education strategies.
What is prospective research? - ANSWER-Prospective research gathers
information in real time as events occur.
,What does cohort research examine? - ANSWER-Cohort research examines
patterns of change or trends over time within a specific population.
What is a case study in research? - ANSWER-A case study involves the

What is cross-sectional design? - ANSWER-Cross-sectional design provides a
'snapshot' of all data at one point in time.
What is longitudinal design? - ANSWER-Longitudinal design collects
information at various set time intervals.
How does a literature review contribute to research? - ANSWER-A literature
review analyzes existing literature to draw conclusions.
What is the first step in conducting research? - ANSWER-The first step is to
identify the necessary group(s) for the research.
What is systematic sampling? - ANSWER-Systematic sampling involves
generating a list of research subjects or groups using a computer.
What is convenience sampling? - ANSWER-Convenience sampling is a non-
random method where subjects are manually assigned to a specific researcher.
What types of transports do EMS systems include? - ANSWER-Transport to
specialty centers and interfacility transports.
What is the benefit of transporting patients to specialty centers? - ANSWER-
Patients receive definitive care more quickly, even if transport time is slightly
longer.
, What types of facilities may interfacility transports include? - ANSWER-
Clinics, rehabilitation centers, long-term care facilities, and hospitals.
Who may accompany a patient during interfacility transport in rare
circumstances? - ANSWER-A nurse, physician, respiratory therapist, or
medical team.
What should paramedics do to work effectively with hospital staff? -
ANSWER-Become familiar with receiving hospitals and interact professionally
with all personnel involved in patient care.
How can paramedics consult with medical staff during transport? - ANSWER-
By using the radio through established medical control procedures.
What is the responsibility of paramedics regarding continuing education? -
ANSWER-The responsibility ultimately rests with each individual paramedic.
What should paramedics do to keep up with their education? - ANSWER-
Attend conferences and seminars, read EMS journals, and engage in postrun
critiques.
What is a key consideration when transporting patients to specialty centers? -
ANSWER-Know the location of the centers and the protocol for transporting
patients directly to them.
What is the role of local, regional, and state protocols in patient transport? -
ANSWER-They may guide the decision for transport methods, including air
medical transport.
What is the role of public safety personnel with EMS training? - ANSWER-
They are better prepared than the average person to perform certain functions.
