This 2025/2026 CFRN/CTRN exam prep guide includes over 150 high-yield clinical questions and correct answers based on the latest test blueprint for Certified Flight Registered Nurse (CFRN) and Certified Transport Registered Nurse (CTRN) exams. Designed for advanced critical care and transport nurses, this resource combines calculation-based questions, scenario triage, clinical mnemonics, and textbook formulas to support test readiness and clinical mastery. Topics and highlights include: Burns & Fluid Resuscitation: Parkland and consensus formulas, TBSA rule of nines, adult vs pediatric burn care, electrical burn differences, fluid timing and urine output goals Maternal-Fetal Triage Index (MFTI): Priority levels 1–3, criteria for STAT vs urgent OB interventions, gestational complications, abnormal vitals, high-risk pregnancy conditions Hemodynamic & Cardiac Monitoring: CI, CVP, PAWP, SVR reference values, preload and afterload modifiers, MAP/CPP calculations, drugs affecting hemodynamics Gas Laws & Respiratory Physiology: Boyle’s, Dalton’s, Charles’, Henry’s, Fick’s, and others, with clinical examples tied to altitude changes, pneumothorax, and intubation scenarios Types of Hypoxia: Hypemic, histotoxic, stagnant, and hypoxic hypoxia – with real-world triggers and treatments Neurological Trauma Signs: Grey Turner, Cullen, Murphy, Kehr’s, Waddell’s triad, Hammans, Steeple, and Thumbprint signs – essential for rapid trauma diagnosis Spinal Cord Syndromes & Injury Levels: Anterior cord, central cord, Brown-Séquard, autonomic dysreflexia, SCI deficits by vertebral level (C5-C8, T1, etc.) Cranial Nerve Exams (I–XII): Function summaries, clinical tests, and deficits associated with trauma or neuro conditions Pediatric & Neonatal Airway Management: ETT sizing formulas, depth estimation, cricoid ring anatomy, 4-2-1 rule for fluids, and emergency bolus dosing Electrolyte Imbalances & Lab Norms: U.S. and international reference values for calcium, glucose, BUN, amylase, CK, hemoglobin, osmolality calculation formula Acid-Base Disturbances: High anion gap causes summarized using MUDPILES mnemonic This reference is tailored for: Flight and transport nurses preparing for CFRN/CTRN certification Critical care nurses in trauma, ED, or MICU settings Advanced nursing students in flight/transport clinical rotations Nurse educators or instructors seeking clinically focused test banks Paramedics transitioning into critical care or flight roles With detailed mnemonics, clinical pearls, and formula breakdowns, this is an indispensable final review or crash prep resource for the most intense areas of emergency and transport nursing.

2025/2026 Exam Questions and Correct
Answers | New Update



BURNS - Consensus formula - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔(2-4 mL Ringers Lactate) x

(weight in kg) x (% TBSA) = mLs in first 24 hours.




Give half of this total in the first 8 hours post burn.




BURN PEARL: Adults use 2 mL: Pediatrics use 3 mL: Electrical injuries use 4mL.

Do not give dextrose solutions (except for maintenance fluids in children) —it may

cause an osmotic diuresis and confuse adequacy of resuscitation assessment.


BURNS - The Parkland formula - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔4ml x TBSA (%) x body weight

(kg) = Total fluid requirement in 24 hours




50% given in first eight hours

,50% given in next 16 hours.




- Adequate urine output for adults is 30 mL/hr and children <30kg should be 1-

1.5ml/kg/h.


BURNS - Rule of Nines - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Adult - Head: 9%


Adult - Front 18%

Adult - Back 18%

Adult - Arm 9%

Adult - Leg 18%

Adult - Groin 1%




Child - Head 18%

Child - Front 18%

Child - Back 18%

Child - Arm 9%

Child - Leg 14%

Maternal-fetal triage index - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔- STAT/Priority 1: Need for acute,

life-saving interventions, including, the presence of prolapsed cord, signs of

imminent birth including visible presenting fetal part or maternal bearing down

with contractions, maternal hemorrhage, cardiac compromise or severe respiratory

distress, maternal seizures, or the following abnormal vital signs: inability to detect

the fetal heart rate or a fetal heart rate less than 100 beats per minute for greater

than 1 minute; a maternal heart rate less than 40 or greater than 130, a systolic

blood pressure ≥ 160 or a diastolic ≥ 110, maternal apnea, or an oxygen saturation

< 93%.




- Urgent/Priority 2: Severe pain unrelated to contractions, alterations in maternal

mental status, suicidal or homicidal patients, active vaginal bleeding, or difficulty

bleeding; other inclusions are patients who are ≥ 34 weeks gestation and who are

either experiencing regular contractions or leaking of amniotic fluid and who: are

HIV+, multiple gestation pregnancy, have placenta previa, have a fetus in breech
