1. Spatial Consideration when checking in a patient
• Answer✅: 4–12 feet
• Rationale: This distance corresponds to the "social distance" zone in healthcare and
communication psychology. It balances patient privacy—ensuring personal or
medical information is not easily overheard by others in the reception area—while
remaining close enough for the medical assistant to communicate clearly and maintain
a professional, welcoming demeanor.
2. Which class of fire extinguishers should be used on flammable
liquids
• Answer✅: Class B
• Rationale: Fire classes are categorized by fuel source. Class B extinguishers are
specifically designed for flammable liquids and gases such as gasoline, oil, paint, and
cleaning solvents. Using a Class A extinguisher (which typically uses water) on a
liquid fire can spread the burning liquid and worsen the fire.
3. Third-degree burn first aid procedure for CMA
• Answer✅: Separate burned fingers
• Rationale: Third-degree burns destroy the epidermis and dermis, exposing deep
tissue. If skin surfaces (like fingers or toes) touch while healing or during initial
blistering, they can easily fuse or web together. Separating them gently with sterile,
non-adherent dressings prevents skin adherence and preserves mobility.
4. What is a component of medical terminology used to ensure ease of
pronunciation
• Answer✅: Combining Vowels
• Rationale: A combining vowel (usually "o", sometimes "i" or "e") is inserted
between word roots or between a word root and a suffix to make the term smooth to
pronounce (e.g., gastr-o-enteritis instead of gastrenteritis). It is not used if the suffix
already begins with a vowel.
