Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 1 MAS 010 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Judgment Belongs to the Licensed Provider
Captions available
The idea
Tasks that need clinical judgment, such as assessing a patient or deciding what a finding means, belong to licensed professionals.
In practice
You measure a blood pressure and record it; you notice a rash and report it; the provider decides what each one means.
Where people slip
Do not tell a patient what a reading means. Report it, and let the provider answer.
