Which of the following is outside of a CCMA’s scope of practice and why? explain
a) Perform clinical duties under the direct supervision of the provider
b) Order additional laboratory test to confirm the patients condition
c) Provide directions to a patient about preparation for a diagnostic test
d) Reinforce instructions about medications and special diets
Answer : Option B
A CCMA (Certified clinical medical assistant )can't order additional lab test to confirm the patient condition.
Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) is a multiskilled health professional focused on clinical procedures in an ambulatory healthcare setting.
They may also take on administrative tasks in small health care facilities
Their duties include
Checking patients in and out
Assisting medical providers with clinical examinations and
procedures
Administering injections or medications
Working with electronic health records
Performing EKG, phlebotomy, and lab procedures
Taking patient vital signs
CCMA is also known as a medical assistant (MA) or certified medical assistant (CMA)
The answer is pretty simple and predictable here..Since a CCMA is an assistant,his duties will be mainly to assist the care provider and bring out better results.ordering an additional lab investigation can't be taken as an assistance.
