Certified Clinical Medical Assistant Exam Practice Question
Which of the following procedures should a medical assistant identify as a surgical reconstruction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Rhinoplasty is a surgical reconstruction procedure aimed at altering the shape or function of the nose, making it the only option focused on reconstructive surgery.
Thoracentesis (A) is a minimally invasive procedure to remove fluid from the pleural space, not a surgical reconstruction. Appendectomy (C) involves the removal of the appendix, which is a surgical procedure but not reconstructive. Colotomy (D) refers to an incision into the colon, primarily for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, rather than reconstruction. Each of the incorrect options serves different medical functions unrelated to reconstructive surgery.
