Name: Date Instructions: Using the scenarios below, document the situation and outcome as though you were the medical assistant providing care to the patient. Scenario #1 [choice of treatment]: Patient Judy Matheson is being seen for insomnia. The doctor has prescribed Ambien to help her sleep, however, she lets the Medical Assistant know upon receipt of prescription that her choice of treatment is Melatonin as she would like to take a more holistic approach first. Document in the patient’s chart the steps you took and what was the outcome of the situation. Scenario #2 [consent of treatment]: Patient Gary Dorking offers the Medical Assistant his arm when you are ready to take his blood pressure. Explain what type of consent this is. How does this differ from the type of consent needed for a surgical procedure? Scenario #3 [refusal of treatment/sensitivity to patient’s rights]: Patient John Smith came into your office today. You have taken his vitals and he had his appointment with the doctor. At the end of the appointment the doctor came out and asked you to give John an Influenza vaccine. When you returned to the exam room and informed the patient you were going to give him the Influenza vaccine the doctor asked for, John becomes very agitated and tells you that he doesn’t think vaccines work and he doesn’t want it. You begin to explain to him how the Influenza doesn’t protect against all illnesses, but he yells at you again about how the office just wants to get more money from him by giving him useless vaccines. Then he leaves the office. Document in the patient’s chart the steps you took and what was the outcome of the situation.
