Platinum Educational Group Source Materials:Platinum Educational Group Source Materials:
At Platinum Educational Group, we do not rely on a single textbook or vendor as the sole reference for our educational items. Instead, we draw from a diverse array of authoritative sources to ensure our content is comprehensive and up-to-date. Our reference materials include, but are not limited to:
- Nationally published and widely distributed EMS textbooks.
- American Heart Association guidelines.
- Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) resources.
- International Trauma Life Support (ITLS) guidelines.
- Reputable websites from agencies providing evidence-based information relevant to EMS, such as CDC.gov.
- The EMS National Scope of Practice and the National EMS Model Clinical Guidelines.
In cases where conflicting information arises between sources, our approach is to carefully review the available data and establish a balanced, evidence-based standard. For instance, when textbooks present differing respiratory rate ranges, we strive to find a middle ground that accurately reflects the collective knowledge from various texts.
We understand that students may sometimes struggle to find the exact answer to an item in their textbook. This is often by design. Some questions are crafted to challenge students to think critically, requiring them to apply their knowledge rather than relying solely on memorized facts. In these cases, the correct answer may not be directly stated in any single text but can be derived through thoughtful analysis and application of the concepts they have learned.
