Question: 1 / 20

How must a member interpret a patient-administered automated test?

In a competent and accurate manner

A patient-administered automated test is a test that is completed by the patient themselves, without the assistance of a healthcare provider. As such, it requires the member to interpret the results in a competent and accurate manner. This means that they need to be knowledgeable about the test and its purpose, and be able to accurately interpret the results for the patient. B is incorrect because a supervisor does not need to be present for a patient-administered test. C is also incorrect because there is no set timeframe for when a patient-administered test must be interpreted. Finally, D is incorrect as a patient's medical history is important in understanding the context of the results and providing accurate interpretation. Overall, it is important for a member to interpret a patient-administered automated test in a competent and accurate manner to ensure the best possible care for the patient.
