Which of the following actions should a medical assistant take when performing a hearing and vision screening?

A. Vitamin A: Vitamin A is fat-soluble, meaning it dissolves in fat and can be stored in the body.
B. Vitamin B: Vitamin B (including all B vitamins) is water-soluble, meaning it dissolves in water and is not stored in the body, requiring regular replenishment through diet.
C. Vitamin D: Vitamin D is fat-soluble, not water-soluble.
D. Vitamin E: Vitamin E is also fat-soluble.

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.
