Phlebotomy Technician Practice Exam (NCPT/CPT)

Which organization sets the standard of care?

1. FDA

2. CDC

3. OSHA

4. WHO

The correct answer is: OSHA

The other options are incorrect because they do not specifically focus on setting the standard of care, they may have other regulatory roles that do not fall under standard of care. For example, the FDA is responsible for ensuring the safety and efficacy of food, drugs, and medical devices, while the CDC focuses on preventing and controlling infectious diseases. The WHO, on the other hand, is responsible for global health and international health regulations. Only OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, is specifically mandated to set and enforce workplace safety and health standards, which includes the standard of care for employees. Therefore, OSHA is the correct answer for this question.
