An attorney who has a power of attorney document for a patient requests to see the patient's medical record. Which of the following actions should the medical administrative assistant take

While verifying the request with the patient may seem prudent, it is unnecessary when a valid power of attorney is presented. The attorney's authority to access the records is established by the legal document, which negates the need for additional verification from the patient.

This option is unrelated to the attorney's request for medical records. Updating emergency contacts is a separate administrative task and does not address the legal rights granted to the attorney under the power of attorney document.

Scheduling a record review implies that the attorney will need to access the records under different terms. However, with a power of attorney, the attorney is entitled to direct access to the records without needing to arrange a review appointment, thus complicating the process unnecessarily.
