A patient is expressing their anger to the medical assistant about the wait time to see the provider. Which of the following actions should the assistant take?

A. Pull product identification slips from a box or package. Pulling product slips is not a standard method for inventory management.
B. Use a two-bin system, one as a backup bin and one bin for ordering. The two-bin system helps manage inventory by using one bin for current use and a backup bin that triggers reordering when needed.
C. Ask staff members to identify products that need to be ordered and add them to the list. Relying on staff members can be less systematic than maintaining a structured inventory process.
D. Hand count items to identify what needs to be ordered. Hand counting can be inefficient and prone to errors. A systematic approach, like the two-bin system, is more effective.

A. Exposure to a mosquito bite: Hepatitis B is not transmitted through mosquito bites. It is primarily transmitted through contact with infected body fluids, particularly blood.

B. Consumption of raw shellfish: Hepatitis A, not Hepatitis B, can be contracted through the consumption of contaminated food or water, including raw shellfish.

C. Blood splashes to the mucous membranes: Hepatitis B can be transmitted through exposure to infected blood or body fluids, including splashes to mucous membranes (e.g., eyes, mouth).

D. Direct skin contact with a patient who is infected: Hepatitis B is not transmitted through casual skin contact. It requires contact with infected body fluids.
