Question

1. It is a busy day at the doctor’s office, and the medical assistant has been struggling for more than 10 minutes to convince a 6-year-old child to open his mouth and allow the medical assistant to collect a throat culture specimen. The child is becoming enraged and refuses to open his mouth, and his mother appears helpless to get him to follow instructions. After refocusing the child’s attention on his school and activities, which calms him down, the medical assistant is finally able to persuade him to open his mouth slightly. But just as she is about to swab his mouth, the child swipes her hand away and starts to become upset again. The swab has touched the inside of the child’s mouth. Does the medical assistant continue with the collection procedure or begin the process again?
