Explanation: 1. These standards are for organizations that develop and provide staff education; not for academic programs.
2. There is more to the core concern; it is broader and does not just focus on healthcare organizations as could be a public/community health program.
3. The standards do describe information related to staff development, but this is a guide and is not so specific as to provide requirements. This is not the core concern, but leads to meeting the core concern.
4. The core concern is to protect the public and provide quality care.
