Question

describe three examples of how the medical assistant plays an important role in a patient’s assessment and drug administration

Answer 1

A medical assistant may hand patients properly-labeled and pre-packaged prescriptions drugs (excluding controlled substances) that have been ordered by a licensed physician, podiatrist, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or nurse midwife. They aren't allowed to PRESCRIBE medications though.  One of your most important tasks as a medical assistant is keeping patient medical records current. You’ll record a patient’s current weight and blood pressure, and key their pre-exam interview responses into a computer database. You may also be responsible for filing patient medical records, and adding written accounts from physicians or nurses based on exams and any lab tests.As a medical assistant, you’ll frequently arrange for laboratory services. Depending on their certification and employer, some medical assistants might collect and prepare lab specimens and perform basic lab tests.
