When determining the standard of care for a medical assistant in a clinical setting, which of the following best describes the approach they should take to ensure they meet legal and professional expectations?
Follow the most current protocols and procedures endorsed by medical experts and professional organizations relevant to their scope of practice.
Improvise methods of care based on personal experiences and individual patient needs.
Apply the same treatment strategies that were taught during initial medical training, regardless of new developments in the field.
Replicate care techniques from similar healthcare facilities, even if they are outdated.
The correct answer is the one that reflects adherence to protocols and procedures that are widely accepted in the medical community. The other answers, while they involve important practices, do not directly reference the established standards that medical assistants must follow to ensure they are providing the proper level of care required by law and by their professional responsibilities.
