What group is responsible for setting the standards for Phlebotomists?

1. FDA

2. CLIH

3. CDC

4. WHO

The correct answer is: CLIH

The FDA (A) is responsible for regulating food and drug safety, not for setting standards for Phlebotomists. The CDC (C) is responsible for investigating and controlling the spread of diseases, but not for setting standards for Phlebotomists. The WHO (D) is responsible for promoting health and well-being globally, but does not set standards for specific professions. CLIH (B) is the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, and they are responsible for developing and implementing standards for clinical laboratory tests and procedures, including those performed by Phlebotomists.
