The answer is False.

Explanation:

  • In a medical office setting, when a patient calls with symptoms such as painful urination and traces of blood in the urine, it is important to assess the urgency of the situation. These symptoms could indicate a urinary tract infection or another condition that may require prompt medical attention.
  • If the patient's physician is unavailable, the medical assistant should not simply schedule an appointment for the next day without further assessment. Instead, the medical assistant should follow the office protocol for handling such situations, which may include consulting with another available healthcare provider or advising the patient to seek immediate care if the symptoms are severe or worsening.
  • Therefore, the statement is false because the medical assistant should take additional steps to ensure the patient receives appropriate and timely care.

We have a deck of 10 cards numbered from 1 to 10. Some are grey and some are white. The cards numbered 1,2,3,5,6,8, and 9 are grey. The cards numbered 4,7, and 10 are white. A card is drawn at random. Let X be the event that the drawn card is grey, and let P(X) be the probability of X. Let not X be the event that the drawn card is not grey, and let P (not X) be the probability of not X. (a) For each event in the table, check the outcome(s) that are contained in the event. Then, in the last column, enter the probability of the event. Event Outcomes Probability - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 - X P(X)= - not X P(not X)= (b) Subtract. 1-P(not X)=
