That may not work because the child is clearly acting out and destroying things so the assistant could be in danger if she got too close. Or maybe there is a room that the mother or child could go into so the mother could have a few minutes of distraction free time to get the paperwork filled out. The best option I came up with is for the medical assistant to take the family into a private room and help the mother fill out the paperwork. The mother could have ahold of her child while the assistant asks the questions and writes the answers.…

In these instances, it is possible to enter an appointment before a chart number has been assigned to the patient, by entering the patient’s name in the field right of the chart field” (p. 102).
