A medical assistant should report which of the following as outside the expected reference range when obtaining vitals?

A. Allergies: Allergy information is crucial for preventing adverse reactions to medications and treatments, so it often appears as a pop-up alert in electronic health records (EHRs) to ensure that healthcare providers are aware of any potential risks.
B. Illnesses: Illnesses are typically documented in the patient's history, but they do not usually trigger a pop-up alert unless they are related to specific critical conditions or current treatment concerns.
C. Hospitalizations: Hospitalization history is important but is typically found in the patient's medical history section rather than as an immediate alert in the EHR.
D. Surgeries: Surgical history is generally noted in the patient’s medical history, and while important, it does not usually appear as a pop-up alert unless it directly impacts current treatment.

A. The total amount of payments received matches the day's deposit.: To ensure the day's receipts are balanced, the total amount of payments collected should match the total amount deposited into the bank.
B. All transactions have been written on the day sheet. While documenting transactions on the day sheet is important, it alone does not confirm if the receipts are balanced without verifying the total amounts.
C. The check register has been verified. The check register should be verified as part of the process, but it alone does not confirm if the receipts are balanced without matching the deposit total.
D. The ledger cards have been zeroed out. Zeroing out ledger cards is part of account management but does not specifically confirm if the day's receipts match the deposit.
