Respiratory Therapy: Exam Prep

Certified Respiratory Therapist Exam Review Guide is a comprehensive study guide for respiratory therapy students and graduates of accredited respiratory therapy education programs who are seeking to take the entry-level Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT) credentialing exam from the National Board for Respiratory Care (NBRC).

This book covers the important math functions associated with the practice of respiratory therapy. It can be used by students as a self assessment tool to ensure they understand how to properly interpret and conduct essential calculations. The text contains examples, practice exercises and useful notes.

This book reflects the structure of the NBRC TMC and CSE exams. It is a detailed study guide providing a thorough overview of all content as well as helpful test strategies and tips.

This book will help students prepare for the NBRC exam. It includes all the topics that need to be reviewed for the Therapist Multiple-Choice Examination. This exam is similar to the format of the NBRC exam.

•About 40 MC style questions at the end of each chapter with answers at the back of the book
•Briefly reviews the important components of the field
• Very thorough in terms of covering all, or at least most, areas within the scope of practice
•A nice feature is, that the answers at the back of the book don’t only list each answer but have a large explanation about why that is the correct answer and why other answers are incorrect
•Not as good for reviewing equations, and mathematical concepts
•Includes a set of entry level questions and advanced questions at the end of each chapter
•Good for a brief review of a large variety and range of concepts

Exam:
1. CRT- certified respiratory therapist exam (American)
2. Written Registry Exam – for the RRT credential (American) - this will likely be closer to the CBRC (Canadian certification exam)

•Includes a 40 question pretest assessment --> covers all topics in the field of respiratory therapy
•Focuses on reviewing equations and math
•Offers brief paragraphs, reviewing the concepts associated with the equations/ mathematics
• Huge question sets at the end of each chapter (approximately around 210)
• Better for large question sets, reviewing mathematical concepts /equations and practicing for the actual test as opposed to simply a comprehensive concept review

Exam: Written Registry Exam- American exam for RRT certification

This text offers students a comprehensive explanation and review of essential respiratory care math skills as they apply to clinical situations. Every chapter has learning objectives, clinical significance boxes, sample problems that appear after each new concept and a group of practical exercises.
