According to regulations, what is a physician or licensed health care professional allowed to do?

A physician or licensed health care professional is permitted to independently provide health care services as allowed within the scope of their training and practice. This means they have the authority to diagnose and treat medical conditions, make health-related decisions, and prescribe medications, all of which are governed by professional standards and regulations.

While the other choices involve activities related to pesticides and pest control, they fall outside the usual scope of practice for health care professionals. Options such as purchasing and applying pesticides, managing pest control businesses, or making recommendations on pest control methods require specific training and regulatory compliance in pest management, which is not typically included in the education or licensure of medical professionals. Thus, the focus remains on the health care services aspect, which directly correlates with the professional competencies of physicians and licensed health care professionals.
