✍️ Sample EFMB Questions & Answers
1. What is a crucial part of mental endurance in field training?
A crucial part of mental endurance in field training is the ability to maintain focus and resilience during challenging and stressful situations. Medics must be able to concentrate on their tasks, make sound decisions, and persevere through discomfort, fear, and chaos. This mental fortitude ensures they can effectively provide care and manage complex scenarios without becoming overwhelmed.
2. When documenting assessment findings in EFMB practice, which approach is MOST appropriate?
Assessment documentation must be objective, factual, and comprehensive. Recording measurements, observations, and findings without bias ensures that the documentation is useful for decision-making and withstands scrutiny.

TCCC guidelines call for a 400 mcg OTFC lozenge placed between the cheek and gum for absorption through the oral mucosa.
4. What does the acronym SKED stand for in casualty evacuation equipment?
SKED is a brand name for a flexible plastic litter system used for confined-space and technical rescues; it is not an acronym.

A sucking chest wound with declining SpO2 indicates an open pneumothorax compromising breathing and oxygenation — a life-threatening emergency requiring immediate intervention.
