The NIH and CDC are divisions of the:

• A. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
• B. National Institutes of Health
• C. World Health Organization
• D. Occupational Safety and Health Administration

Answer: (D)

NIH and CDC are federal health agencies that sit under the Department of Health and Human Services. This department oversees multiple health-related agencies in one umbrella. OSHA belongs to the Department of Labor, so it isn’t the parent of NIH or CDC. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services is another agency within the same department (HHS) but is not a parent to NIH or CDC, and the World Health Organization is an international organization, not part of the U.S. government. So the correct understanding is that both NIH and CDC operate within the Department of Health and Human Services.
