AAMA CMA Practice Question

During a busy clinic day, a medical assistant is tasked with explaining postoperative care instructions to a patient. The patient appears distracted by the noise from the adjacent room where a child is crying loudly. What is the most appropriate action for the medical assistant to take to facilitate effective communication?

  • Hand the patient a pamphlet on postoperative care without verbal explanation to avoid competing with the noise.

  • Ignore the noise and continue to give the instructions assuming the patient will ask for clarification if needed.

  • Offer to move the patient to a quieter place to continue discussing the care instructions.

  • Increase the volume of speech to speak over the noise without addressing the source of distraction.
