One of the most important tasks you encounter as a practicing
medical assistant is the preparation of the examination
room and treatment area. In this chapter you will
learn about the common layouts of examination rooms;
keeping the rooms clean and stocked with instruments,
disposable, and consumable supplies; maintaining the comfort
of the room; and making the room safe for patients
and coworkers. You will also be introduced to the requirements
for accessibility established by the Americans With
Disabilities Act. |
