After checking a patient's blood pressure and obtaining a detailed medical history (focusing on medications that might interact with or contraindicate this type of intervention), a patient must contact medical control, ensure that the patient's nitroglycerin is not expired, that it belongs to the patient, and that the patient has not had too much already. If a patient meets all of these requirements, the EMT can assist the patient in taking a nitro tablet by having them place the pill on the underside of the tongue and allowing it to dissolve. Blood pressure must again be taken and the effectiveness of the medicine checked.

Under the National Standard Curriculum, an EMT-B is allowed to administer or help patients self-administer six medications. They can administer Oyxgen, Activated Charcoal, and Oral Glucose, and they can help a patient self-administer Epinephrine, Metered-dose inhaler medications, and Nitroglycerin. This can be different depending on an EMTs local protocols. Baby aspirin can also be given to a patient suffering from cardiac emergencies, upon medical control's approval. -http://www.tmrservices.org/PDF/LectureNotes/Chapter%2010%20Lecture.pdf
The chemical formula for nitroglycerin is C3H5N3O9. To calculate the number of moles of nitroglycerin, divide the given mass of nitroglycerin by its molar mass (227.09 g/mol). To find the number of molecules of nitroglycerin, multiply the number of moles by Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol).
The EMT-Basic test is given via a computer and is a Computer Adaptive Test (i.e., the test is adapted based on the student's aptitude). The number of questions on the EMT-Basic exam will range from 70 to 120 based on the EMT student's aptitude. You will be given a maximum of two hours to complete the EMT-Basic exam.
This differs from State-to-State, but becoming an EMT-Basic usually requires a high-school diploma and 120-150 hours of training. To be fully certified as an EMT-Basic (also known as EMT-1, EMT, etc.) you need to have completed those things, and passed a state-given or national test (NREMT test).
