A nurse manager is educating a coworker on agencies that oversee environmental hazards at ambulatory care centers. The nurse manager judges the teaching to be effective when the co-worker states:
a. "National Council of State Boards of Nursing has a role in overseeing any en-vironmental hazard.".
b. "American Nurses Credentialing Center oversees all environmental hazards in the United States.".
c. "Ambulatory Care Nursing Administration and Practice oversees only local en-vironmental hazards.".
d. " The Occupational Safety and Health Administration oversees all environmental hazards at ambulatory care centers.".
D
The purpose of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the state health department is to establish safety and health standards in the work environment. OSHA requires employers to provide a safe work environment for employees. The other options refer to agencies that regulate professional nursing practice (NCSBN) and provide credentialing (ANCC). Ambulatory Care Nursing Administration and Practice is not a recognized agency. There is the American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing (AAACN), which is the association of profes-sional nurses and associates who identify ambulatory care practice as essential to the continuum of high quality, cost-effective health care.
