2. Clark LaRiccia has come to the office with complaints of increased thirst, urination, and weight loss, even though he hasn’t been trying to lose weight. Dr. Simmons recognizes these as symptoms of diabetes. He wants the patient’s blood glucose level tested in the office using a glucometer. Mr. La Riccia’s blood glucose results are very high, at 278 mg/dL. What level of CLIA testing would blood glucose testing (using a glucometer) be considered? Is this a test an MA could perform? Are the results that were obtained by the glucometer considered qualitative or quantitative?

Use the textbook as a reference. 1. Clara Jones, RMA, has received a phone call from a mother who is worried about her 8-year-old son, who had bloodwork done earlier the previous day.
