What organization addresses disruptive behaviors in healthcare?

• A. OSHA
• B. CDC
• C. The Joint Commission
• D. American Medical Association

Answer: (C)

The Joint Commission is the organization that addresses disruptive behaviors in healthcare. It accredits and certifies hospitals and other facilities in the U.S. and requires policies and processes that create a safe, respectful work environment, including clear expectations for professional conduct, reporting, and corrective actions to prevent impacts on patient safety and care quality.

OSHA focuses on general workplace safety and hazards, not on interpersonal or professional conduct. The CDC concentrates on disease prevention and infection control. The American Medical Association provides ethics guidance and professional advocacy, but it isn’t the accrediting body responsible for enforcing behavioral standards across facilities.
