BMI= weight/height

BMI = kg/m²

underweight. Being over weight means having a BMI of 25-29.9 while

which type of health care worker would be most concerned with the safety standards established by the clinical laboratories impr
Rama09 [41]

The Director of nursing would be most concerned with the safety standards established by the clinical laboratories’ improvement amendments or CLIA.

<h3>What is CLIA?</h3>

The Public Health Services Act was amended by the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 law, in which Congress altered the federal scheme for accreditation and oversight of clinical laboratory testing.

Federal standards that apply to all U.S. facilities or locations that test human specimens for health assessment or to diagnose, prevent, or treat disease are included in the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) rules.

Testing performed for forensic reasons (criminal investigations), testing carried out on human specimens for research or surveillance, and testing carried out on human specimens when patient-specific results are not reported are all exempt from the CLIA regulations.

These tests include employment-related drug testing by SAMSHA-certified laboratories.
