●
Please pose a question to your classmates that you feel will enhance this unit’s learning.
Please review post and response expectations. Please review the rubric to ensure that your response meets criteria. Estimated time to complete: 2 hours As a medical assistant I think it is important to understand germs and how the can make
a person ill because that is the number one way to prevent them. It also helps to know how to help the patient and what they need to start to feel better. One of the things I think that stuck with me the most is just the immune system itself. I think It is amazing what I can do even when a person has an autoimmune disease. The body remembers the cells of the disease (viral or bacteria) and will attack at first signs of them back in the body. I think it is like having a little army marching around in our body. Professionalism is one that I find fits with explaining microbiology, immunology and blood bank things to patients. We have to remember that the patient may not have the knowledge we do so we need to have patience and understand and answer all the questions that they ask. The most important take away this week is to make sure you know the basics of the germs you will encounter as you enter your new journey. Make sure you know so you can protect yourself. We can not help the patients with we are sick. My question to the class is What office lab test are you most excited about performing?
