  • 2. 

    If no test is marked on a requisition/order you receive, you can still draw blood because

    • The doctor always orders the same tests on everybody

    • I can draw a bunch of tubes and figure it out later

    • The doctor told me what tests he wanted

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "None of the above" because drawing blood without a specific test being marked on the requisition/order is not appropriate or professional. The doctor may have specific tests in mind for each patient, and it is important to follow the instructions provided on the requisition/order to ensure accurate and appropriate testing is performed. Drawing a bunch of tubes without knowing the specific tests needed can lead to unnecessary testing, waste of resources, and potentially harm to the patient. It is important to always follow the instructions provided by the doctor or healthcare professional.

    If I need to take time off, I need to get approval from

    • The client office manager

    • My supervisor

    • The sales rep

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. My supervisor
    Explanation
    In order to take time off, it is necessary to obtain approval from one's supervisor. This is because the supervisor is responsible for managing and overseeing the employee's work schedule and ensuring that there is adequate coverage in their absence. The client office manager and sales rep may have their own roles and responsibilities, but they do not have the authority to grant or deny time off requests. Therefore, the correct answer is "My supervisor."

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The Phlebotomist Acknowledgement of Duties needs to be signed by the Phlebotomist before being placed in a client's office. This suggests that the document outlines the specific responsibilities and tasks that the Phlebotomist must adhere to while working in the client's office. By signing the acknowledgement, the Phlebotomist confirms their understanding and acceptance of these duties.

    ABNs need to be obtained on all Medicare patients?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    ABNs (Advance Beneficiary Notices) are not required to be obtained for all Medicare patients. ABNs are only necessary when a provider believes that Medicare may not cover a specific service or item, and they want to inform the patient in advance that they may be responsible for the cost. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    It is okay for me to select from a list of tests and common diagnosis codes used by the doctor when filling out a CPL requisition.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    It is not okay for the patient to select from a list of tests and common diagnosis codes when filling out a CPL requisition. The doctor is responsible for selecting the appropriate tests and diagnosis codes based on the patient's symptoms, medical history, and physical examination. The patient's role is to provide accurate information to the doctor, but the final decision on tests and diagnosis codes should be made by the healthcare professional.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Only a and c of the above". This means that the permitted IOP Phlebotomist Services include blood drawing of specimens referred to CPL (Clinical Pathology Laboratories) and copying and distributing CPL lab reports to authorized office personnel. Taking a patient's blood pressure and temperature is not included in the permitted services.

    Correct Answer
    A. The CPL requisition number

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above
    Explanation
    It is not okay to go to the office supply store to pick up needed supplies because it is not within the scope of a medical assistant's responsibilities. Similarly, it is not okay to run SIMPLE lab tests or observe in a patient room with the patient and doctor without proper training and authorization. Therefore, the correct answer is "None of the above."

    When I need billing information, I should:

    • Ask the office staff

    • Look it up from the patient’s chart

    • Check information from previous requisition

    • Send requisition without information – we can get it later

    Correct Answer
    A. Ask the office staff
    Explanation
    Asking the office staff is the correct answer because they are likely to have access to the most up-to-date and accurate billing information. They can provide the necessary details and answer any questions or concerns regarding billing. Looking it up from the patient's chart may not be reliable as the information could be outdated or incomplete. Checking information from previous requisition may also not be accurate as there could have been changes since then. Sending a requisition without information and planning to get it later is not recommended as it can lead to delays and potential errors in billing.

    • All of the above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Compliance is the responsibility of all parties mentioned, including the manager or supervisor, all CPL clients, and all CPL employees. This means that everyone involved in the organization, from top-level management to clients and employees, has a duty to ensure that they are following all relevant laws, regulations, and internal policies. This emphasizes the importance of a collective effort to maintain compliance and uphold ethical standards within the organization.

    • Accessing patient medical charts to obtain billing information

    • Ordering supplies from CPL for phlebotomy use by the CPL phlebotomist

    • Maintaining CPL’s centrifuge

    • Preparing specimens for transport to CPL

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Accessing patient medical charts to obtain billing information
    Explanation
    Accessing patient medical charts to obtain billing information is prohibited because it violates patient privacy and confidentiality. Phlebotomists should only have access to patient information that is necessary for performing their phlebotomy duties, such as patient identification and specimen collection. Billing information is not directly related to phlebotomy duties and should be handled by appropriate billing personnel. The other options mentioned, such as ordering supplies, maintaining equipment, and preparing specimens for transport, are all within the scope of phlebotomy duties and are not prohibited.

    Correct Answer
    A. None of the above
    Explanation
    None of the options listed - answering the phone, filing reports in the chart, and greeting patients at the front desk - are applicable for helping the office staff when not busy. The correct answer implies that there are other tasks or responsibilities that can be performed to assist the office staff during free time, but they are not mentioned in the given options.

    ALL Medicare patients must sign an ABN?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Not all Medicare patients are required to sign an ABN (Advanced Beneficiary Notice). An ABN is a written notice that a healthcare provider must give to a Medicare patient before providing a service that Medicare might not cover. It is used to inform the patient of their financial responsibility if Medicare denies coverage. However, an ABN is only required when the provider believes that Medicare is likely to deny coverage for a specific service or item. Therefore, the statement "ALL Medicare patients must sign an ABN" is false.

    I can place test results on the outside cover of the patient’s chart.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Placing test results on the outside cover of the patient's chart is a correct practice. This allows for easy access and reference to the test results for healthcare professionals. It ensures that the information is readily available and can be quickly reviewed when needed. Additionally, having the test results on the outside cover of the chart helps to prevent any misplacement or confusion regarding the patient's medical records.

    ABNs

    • Can be signed by the patient and filled out after the patient leaves

    • Must have a copy given to the patient

    • Are still valid if a test cost is not listed

    • B and C above

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Must have a copy given to the patient
    Explanation
    ABNs (Advanced Beneficiary Notices) are forms that inform Medicare beneficiaries that a particular service or item may not be covered by Medicare. These forms must be given to the patient before the service is provided. By providing a copy of the ABN to the patient, they are made aware of the potential financial responsibility they may have if Medicare denies coverage for the service. This ensures transparency and allows the patient to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the service or not. Therefore, it is necessary to give a copy of the ABN to the patient.
