Rules and regulation: In the US, the general rule is that licensed medical staff such as nurses and doctors may answer patients' questions, while non-licensed staff such as medical assistants and front office staff should not make nor appear to make medical treatment decisions. Each clinic's situation is a bit different, of course.
