The idea
Whether a medical assistant prepares or gives a medication depends on state law, the practice's policy and your training.
In practice
Where you are allowed, follow the practice's procedure exactly, including any second check by a colleague that it requires.
Where people slip
Calculating correctly does not make a task yours. Scope comes first, and arithmetic second.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
