The medical assistant is expected to give the best care that they possibly can to the patient while staying within the boundaries of the patient's bill of rights. Being respectful, keeping information confidential, explaining details to patient to where they understand what is going on, and making sure the patient can come to a clean and safe place are all ways the medical assistant can follow the patient's bill of rights.

A medical assistant can promote the patient's Bill of Rights by helping the patient understand what their Bill of Rights are and to make sure they are protected. Also, a medical assistant makes sure that the patient receives the proper care, be understanding and considerate of the patients health visit. If a patients rights have been violated you have to inform the patient that their rights have been violated, tell them exactly what happened and how you are going to take the necessary actions to fix this issue. Also, you have to reassure them that this kind of situation will never happen again. Example: A nurse reading the wrong patient file because the names are similar I completely agree with this Cierra. Unfortunately, not all places follow these procedures in fear of informing a patient and having a lawsuit in some cases. Which is illegal. If all medical assistants followed this information, it would be a great place. lol.

A medical assistant can promote a patients Bill of Rights by helping them understand their rights letting them know that if they don't understand something of don't agree you are there to help and make sure they are protected. If a patients rights have been violated a medical assistant can help the patient by assuring the patient that it won't happen again go over all procedures and let the patient know everything is taken care of and if they have any other concerns after that refer the patient to a higher authority.

1) A Medical Assistant can promote the Patient's Bill of Rights by understanding the patient's rights and providing the patient with the best care possible .The MA can also promote the rights by helping the patient understand the care that they are going to receive . 2) If the patient's rights have been violated the Medical Assistant can help by informing the patient that their right has been violated as soon as it happens and reassure them that it is not going to happen again and let them speak to the supervisor if they wish to. An example would be leaving the patient's chart out in the open for other's to read and have access to .

I totally agree with you Sarah my answer was similar because if the MA can assure the patient of his/her knowledge of the patients Bill of Rights the patient will feel comfortable asking questions that they don't know or understand.

The medical assistant is expected to give the best care that they possibly can to the patient regardless of healthcare needs. The care for the patient must reflect on their belief and values. Medical assistants can promote the patient's Bill of Rights by being respectful, private and confident, make sure to explain the care, a safe environment, informed consent, considerate medical care, and rules and regulations. If the patient's rights have been violated then the medical assistant needs to make sure they notify the patient on what has happened and ensure them that everything will be taken care of. Also give them the option of talking to someone of higher authority if they would feel better about it. Example: Releasing the wrong patient's information. This happens when the patient has the same or similar name. I agree because if you notify the patient right away it let's them know your not trying to hide your mistakes and assuring the patient that its being taken care of and giving them a opotion to take higher authority shows your professionalism
