Answer:Scheduling a follow-up appointment

Step-by-step explanation:

Scheduling a follow-up appointment for the client is within the legal scope of practice and training for the medical assistant role. Client teaching, assessment for positive skin reactions to the test, and monitoring for serious allergic reactions are appropriate to the education and practice role of licensed nursing staff.
