A medical assistant may give an injection

  1. At their discretion

  2. Only on the orders of the physician

  3. After consulting a nurse

  4. Based on patient request

The correct answer is: Only on the orders of the physician

Giving injections is a medical procedure that requires proper training and authorization. Medical assistants are only allowed to give injections under the direct orders and supervision of a licensed physician. This ensures patient safety and proper administration of medication. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not involve the necessary oversight and authorization from a physician. Medical assistants should not give injections without proper guidance and approval from a physician.
