Q1. A medical assistant is preparing a patient for a fasting blood glucose test but learns
the patient consumed coffee with sugar 2 hours prior. What is the most appropriate
action?
A. Proceed with the test and document intake
B. Delay the test and reschedule appropriately
C. Perform the test and notify the physician later
D. Administer insulin before testing
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Delay the test and reschedule appropriately
Explanation: Fasting glucose requires no caloric intake for 8–12 hours; sugar intake
invalidates results. Proceeding (A, C) compromises accuracy. Administering insulin (D) is
inappropriate and unsafe without physician order.
Q2. During a routine ECG procedure, electrode misplacement occurs. Which outcome is
most likely?
A. Increased heart rate variability
, B. Misinterpretation of cardiac rhythm
C. Electrical shock to the patient
D. Accurate but delayed readings
Correct Answer: 🔴 B. Misinterpretation of cardiac rhythm
Explanation: Incorrect electrode placement alters waveform representation, leading to
diagnostic errors. It does not directly affect heart rate variability (A), cause shock (C), or
simply delay results (D).
Q3. A patient refuses a prescribed treatment. What is the medical assistant’s best
response?
A. Document refusal and inform provider
B. Convince the patient forcefully
C. Ignore refusal and proceed
D. Discharge the patient immediately
Correct Answer: 🔴 A. Document refusal and inform provider
Explanation: Patient autonomy must be respected. Documentation and provider
notification ensure legal and ethical compliance. Forcing treatment (B), ignoring refusal (C),
or discharging (D) are inappropriate.
