Medical Assistant Prep / Unit 15 MAS 366 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Preparing for a Minor Procedure
Captions available
The idea
For minor office procedures, such as repairing a laceration, the medical assistant prepares the room, the patient and the sterile field.
In practice
Open sterile supplies correctly, add items without contaminating the field, and prepare the skin as the order and the practice's policy direct.
Where people slip
The procedure itself is the provider's; your role is a safe field, ready supplies and a comfortable patient.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
