Well I noticed there was a bunch of conflicting information on this site's practice tests. For example I was asked what I should do if a parent asked if she could hold her child while in the back of the ambulance and in one question that was the same it was let her hold the child and buckle her down and the other one was do not let her hold the child because it's unsafe. And another question was what is considered a severe bleed in an adult and the answer was 500cc but it asked me that again and the answer was 1000cc. What's going on?

Chrisisajay,
Many times questions are similar to other questions, but answers will be different. This is due to the fact that you must choose the best answer choice given. So in one question the best choice may be to have the mother seatbelted, but in another it may be to not let her ride with the child that way. This also applies to the bleeding questions. If you find a question that you don't agree with the answer or rationale, we ask that you copy and paste it into our help desk. This way we can go in and review the questions you have. Posting generalized statements in our open forum doesn't generate a support ticket that would help us clarify any problems you are having. The reason we have questions so similar is to help simulate what you may face on the NREMT exam. You may be given multiple airway questions that sound much the same, with varied answer choices to see how you grasp that topic. We hope that this helps.
