AAMA CMA Practice Question
During the inspection phase of a physical examination, you note that a patient's skin appears yellowish in color. What is the most appropriate course of action to take next?
Report the observation promptly to the healthcare provider for further assessment.
Offer the patient a glass of water, as this might be due to dehydration.
Continue with the physical examination without noting the finding in the patient's record.
Reassure the patient that it is a common finding and proceed with the examination.
