Which practical guide for EMS was coauthored by Mr. Clayden?

• A. Paramedic Program
• B. Pocket Reference for EMTs and Paramedics
• C. Prehospital Emergency Pharmacology
• D. Bloodborne Pathogens

Answer: (B)

Focusing on a practical EMS field reference helps distinguish the right answer. A pocket reference for EMTs and Paramedics is exactly the type of compact, in-your-pocket guide designed for quick use in the field, offering concise protocols, quick-reference information, and essential procedures. This format is what makes it a “practical guide” for EMS, and it is the edition that lists Mr. Clayden as a coauthor, aligning with the prompt.

The other options describe broader or topic-specific texts rather than a compact field guide. A Paramedic Program sounds like a course or curriculum, not a portable reference. Prehospital Emergency Pharmacology is a focused pharmacology text, more in-depth and not the quick-reference pocket guide associated with Clayden. Bloodborne Pathogens is a safety-focused topic usually covered in training modules rather than a field-ready reference coauthored by him.
