Look Inside the Book

Every page has one big drawing and a box with the numbers and sequences you need to know:

Every page: one drawing, 2–4 cards, one boxed key fact. One part per evening.

The Problem Isn't You. It's How It Was Explained.

You're at intake, the thermometer beeps and the patient asks: "Is that a fever?" You took it under the arm, and suddenly you're not sure what normal is.

The textbook covered it, in one paragraph: four routes, four values, a fever threshold. Read at night after work, it's just numbers in a row, and numbers in a row don't stay.

Oral about 98.6°F · rectal and tympanic about 1°F higher · axillary about 1°F lower · fever at 100.4°F

In this book, temperature is one page: a ladder with oral at about 98.6°F in the middle, rectal and tympanic one rung up, axillary one rung down, and a red line at 100.4°F.

The same goes for the order of draw, V1 to V6, injection angles, Korotkoff sounds and the PPE sequence: each one has its own page.

You picture the ladder, place the reading on it and know where it sits without opening the textbook again.

COMPARE FOR YOURSELF

Same Topic, Two Ways to Study It

THIS
  • The textbook: line after line
  • Infection control explained only in words
  • You walk into the exam with doubts
The chain of infection describes the sequence of conditions required for an infectious disease to be transmitted. The infectious agent, which may be a bacterium, virus, fungus or parasite, must reside in a reservoir, such as a human, an animal or a contaminated surface, from which it leaves through a portal of exit. Transmission then occurs by contact, droplet, airborne or vector routes, after which the agent enters a susceptible host through a portal of entry. Interruption of any link prevents continuation of the infectious process.
FOR THIS
  • The chain of infection in one drawing
  • The six links in a box
  • Break one link and the chain stops: you see where hand hygiene and PPE fit
Agent → reservoir → exit → transmission → entry → host: six links, one chain

One Page, One Topic, All Clear

Think of it this way:

Your first week of externship. The provider orders a PT and a CBC, and you need to know which tube goes first before the needle is in.

You open the order-of-draw page and see a row of colored tubes, always in the same sequence, with the light blue top sitting ahead of the lavender.

21–22 gauge for routine draws, 23 gauge butterfly for fragile veins, and everything else on the tray.

The same with V1 to V6 on a torso, the 90° and 45° angles on a slice of skin, the Korotkoff sounds and donning and doffing PPE: each one on its own page.

Medical Assistant Exam Illustrated is 8 parts and 54 topics, all drawn, and it closes with an exam-day review: every number on one page, the sequences in order and the most frequent mix-ups.

What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this for me if I already work as a medical assistant?

Yes. Whether you've worked for years without the credential or you're finishing a program, it puts the clinical side the CCMA, CMA and RMA share in order and in drawings: infection control, vital signs, intake, phlebotomy, EKG and injections. It isn't a beginner's intro. It doesn't cover the general and administrative sections (billing, scheduling, law and ethics).

Where does the content come from?

From the CDC (hand hygiene, PPE, vaccine storage), CLSI GP41 (venipuncture and order of draw), the 2017 ACC/AHA blood pressure guideline, the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard and the public NHA, AAMA and AMT exam content outlines. What can't be checked stays out.

Is this official material?

No. It's an independent study book, not affiliated with or endorsed by NHA, AAMA or AMT. It doesn't give you a certificate or CE credits: your credential comes only from passing the official exam.

Does it replace my program or externship?

No. It's a review tool. It doesn't replace an accredited program, your externship, clinical supervision or your clinic's protocols.

Are the practice questions the ones on the exam?

No. They're written for this book, in exam style, to help you find your weak spots. They aren't official questions from any exam.

When and how do I get it?

The book and the 2 bonus books arrive as PDFs by email, at the address you enter at checkout.

Do I have to pay every month?

No. It's a one-time payment. No subscription.

Can I have it on paper?

Yes. It's a printable PDF: print the whole book or just the pages you want to keep in your bag.

How does the refund work?

You have 30 days. We refund everything if the file won't open, if the book isn't what you see on this page, if you were charged twice or if the email doesn't arrive: just email us.
