What personal protective equipment does a medical assistant need?

∙ 10y ago
An MA (Medical Assistant) only needs the equipment that the workplace provides, and only for certain situations. Gloves are the most common item, used during physical contact with patients. In most facilities, gowns or masks are necessary only under rare circumstances (for instance if a patient is quarantined with a highly contagious disease like TB). If you are asking if the MA needs to own their own protective equipment, the answer is No. If this is a test question, then study what kinds of equipment are used under what kinds of circumstances. Again, gloves are by far the most common one used, and in most facilities, the only one.
