In which of the following locations on a paper health record should a medical assistant document a patient's temperature, pulse, and respirations?

A. Tape measure: A tape measure is necessary to measure the head circumference of infants, which is a routine part of a well-child visit to monitor growth and development.
B. Glucometer: A glucometer is used to measure blood glucose levels and is not routinely required for a well-child visit unless the child has a specific condition like diabetes.
C. Tuning fork: A tuning fork is used to assess hearing, typically in older children or adults, and is not routinely required for a well-child visit for a 1-year-old.
D. Bulb syringe: A bulb syringe may be used for suctioning an infant's nose or mouth, but it is not a standard tool needed for a well-child visit unless there is a specific need.

A. Colonoscopy: A colonoscopy is an invasive procedure that requires written informed consent due to the associated risks and the need for detailed patient understanding.
B. Dilation and curettage: Dilation and curettage (D&C) is an invasive procedure requiring written informed consent, including an explanation of risks, benefits, and alternatives.
C. Venipuncture: For venipuncture, verbal consent is generally sufficient, as it is a minor procedure with minimal risk.
D. Cardiac stress test: A cardiac stress test, while less invasive, typically requires written informed consent due to potential risks and the need for patient understanding.
