Certified Medical Assistant Exam Prep

Category - Medical Assisting

Mr. Li, a 63-year-old Chinese immigrant, has an extremely agitated personality. Which activity do you expect the licensed nurse will recommend?
  1. Playing card games
  2. Watching television
  3. Going on daily walks
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: C - The licensed nurse will likely ask you to assist Mr. Lee with daily walks. In this manner, the client will be diverted from his stressful feelings and will be calmed down. Walking with the client signifies the medical assistant’s genuine interest and a willingness to listen to the client’s concerns, thoughts, and feelings. Playing card games entails competition with other clients or that could further aggravate the client’s agitation, and watching television is a sedentary activity that will not release the stress the client feels on a regular basis.
