AAMA CMA Practice Question

A medical assistant is preparing a patient for a scheduled minor surgical procedure in an outpatient clinic. Which of the following actions taken by the healthcare team correctly demonstrates the process of obtaining informed and written consent before the procedure begins?

  • The healthcare provider gets a verbal agreement from the patient before starting an invasive diagnostic test.

  • The healthcare provider proceeds with the examination of a minor after obtaining the minor's signature and without the presence of a parent or legal guardian.

  • The healthcare provider uses complex medical jargon to explain the procedure to a non-English speaking patient and obtains a signature on the consent form without providing an interpreter.

  • The healthcare provider explains the surgical procedure, potential risks, and benefits to the patient, answers the patient's questions, and then has the patient sign a consent form.
