You are answering phones in your physician's office. A patient on the line explains to
you that she has had an upset stomach, headache, low grade temperature, mild
diarrhea. Can you tell the patient to use over-the-counter medication for the
diarrhea, take Ibuprofen for the headache, rest, and drink plenty of fluids?
O a. Yes, because you know it will help.
O
b. No, because you are not permitted to make medical decisions.

office for an appointment.
