D. Assessment and plan data in the progress notes. Because the assistant is not that knowledgeable yet.

Medical assistant responsibilities include administrative and clinical tasks in the offices of physicians, hospitals, and other healthcare facilities. Answering telephones, greeting patients, updating and filing patients' medical records, filling out insurance forms, handling correspondence, scheduling appointments are some of the responsibilities.

Assessment and plan data in the progress notes are documentation elements that are out of the scope of practice for the medical assistant.
