Question

Jaime Carrera, a Hispanic man in his late 20s, is brought to Inner Urgent Care by coworkers when he injures his head in an accident at a construction site where he is working. His head is bleeding profusely. As Jaime’s coworkers watch the health care team implement Standard Precautions for infection control, one of them, his own shirt and hands covered with Jaime’s blood, pulls the medical assistant aside and whispers frantically, “What are you doing? Does he have AIDS?”



What is the best therapeutic response of the medical assistant?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The best response for the medical assistant is to calm the person down. the medical assistant should check Jaime's blood to make sure he doesn't have AIDS. If he does, he should answer in a  calm, soothing voice, saying that everything is going to be fine and they will find a way to stop it. If there isn't he should say in it a cheerful voice so the person knows he is telling the truth.
