First responder punctuation challenge

On National Punctuation Day, test your knowledge of punctuation

Report writing and documentation are a fact of life for EMTs and paramedics. Like it or not, our punctuation is judged every day by peers, hospital staff, community members, billers, attorneys and supervisors.

Sept. 24 is National Punctuation Day, a celebration of the period, comma, semicolon, question mark, exclamation point and the other marks that give meaning to our words and cut down on confusion.

To mark the day, take our quick punctuation challenge and see how sharp your skills are. When you’re done, try other Puzzles & Games, including Sudoku, crossword and Jumble or dive deep into EMS documentation.
