Clinical Patient Care | FREE CCMA Practice Test | Mix Set -2

This mix set targets Subject 3: Clinical Patient Care and blends six syllabus areas: patient intake & vitals, general patient care, infection control & safety, point-of-care testing & lab, phlebotomy, and EKG/cardiovascular testing. Designed for CCMA students and medical assistant trainees in ambulatory care, it focuses on realistic scenarios—safe ID, accurate measurements, asepsis, triage, POCT quality control, specimen handling, and ECG lead placement/artifact recognition. Use this Free CCMA Practice Test as a quick Free Mock Test for focused, free exam preparation. Choose the single best answer, hit submit to see your score instantly, and review highlighted solutions to close knowledge gaps fast.
