✓ Correct answer: A. Child Protective ServicesAnswer: Child Protective Services Mandatory reporting laws require a medical assistant to report any suspected case of child abuse to Child Protective Services (CPS). Although the medical assistant should inform the office manager and provider with the information about the suspected abuse, they are not mandated by law to inform them. It is not mandated by law for the medical assistant to inform the police unless it is specified by local laws, nor to inform the child's lawyer.
