Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In some states, the scope of practice for medical assistants does indeed vary, including restrictions on certain procedures such as drawing blood. This is due to differing state laws and regulations regarding healthcare professionals' scope of practice. Options A, B, D, and E are incorrect because medical assistants, regardless of the state, are not trained or legally permitted to diagnose patients, give out diagnostic opinions, or be primarily responsible for treating terminally ill patients. Additionally, part of their role can involve managing medications, including controlled substances, under the supervision of a physician.
