AAMA CMA Practice Question

During a routine check-up, a 45-year-old patient mentions experiencing headaches while reading. The medical assistant decides to perform a near vision test. Before the assessment, the patient reveals they have forgotten their reading glasses, which they normally use for close work. How should the medical asistant proceed with the near vision assessment?

  • Postpone the near vision assessment until the patient brings their own reading glasses to ensure accurate results.

  • Conduct the near vision test without correction, using a standardized reading card at a fixed distance of 14 to 16 inches.

  • Allow the patient to hold the reading card at a distance they are comfortable with to avoid causing any more headaches during the test.

  • Ask another patient if they can lend their reading glasses to the patient for the purpose of the test.
