MT1120 – Clinical Back Office Procedures
Critical Thinking:
Today, Shandra Wilkinson, RMA, is working with Dr. Penningworth at Pearson Physicians Group. Dr. Penningworth has instructed Shandra to prepare examination room 4 for an I & D of a sebaceous cyst. He will be performing the I & D on Carmen DiStefano, a 32-year-old male who presented to the office with pain and discomfort surrounding the cyst.
What is an I & D, and why is it usually performed?
What supplies would Shandra need to gather to have the examination room ready for the I & D to be performed by Dr. Penningworth?
Dr. Penningworth informs Shandra that the patient has had the cyst for a significant amount of time and would like to send a sample, which will be collected during the procedure, to the laboratory. What type of sample will likely be collected, and why would the physician want to send it to the laboratory for testing?
