Introduction Care and maintenance of exam room Equipment Supplies Infection control practices The care and maintenance of the medical office’s examination and treatment areas are duties of the medical assistant. The medical assistant must perform specific tasks to prepare and maintain the rooms, equipment, and supplies. These tasks include knowing the equipment and supplies and practicing infection control at all times. The Exam Room Number and size of rooms Two per physician Accommodate the physician, patient, and one assistant Supplies and equipment must be in reach Learning Outcome: Describe the layout and features of a typical examination room. Number and Size of Rooms The number of exam rooms in a medical office depends on the number of physicians who work there and on each physician’s patient load. Ideally, each physician in a medical office has at least two exam rooms for her or his exclusive use. This enables the medical assistant to prepare one room while the physician examines a patient in the other room. The customary size for an exam room is 8 by 12 feet. It needs to be large enough to accommodate the physician, the patient, and one assistant comfortably, yet small enough that instruments and supplies are within easy reach. Rooms should be soundproofed to ensure privacy for patients. A rack for the patient’s medical records usually hangs on the wall outside the exam room or on the outside of the door. A light or other device may be used
