Who is prohibited from performing a diagnosis according to federal regulations?

  1. Doctors

  2. Salon professionals

  3. Veterinarians

  4. Nurses

The correct answer is: Salon professionals

Major medical procedures and formal diagnoses can only be provided by a licensed physician, nurse practitioner, or other experienced healthcare professional. While salon professionals and other non-licensed individuals may have knowledge and experience with certain medical conditions, they are not legally allowed to perform diagnoses according to federal regulations. Doctors, nurses, and veterinarians, on the other hand, have the necessary training and accreditation to accurately diagnose and treat medical issues. While it is important to keep in mind that salon professionals and other non-licensed individuals are still valuable and important contributors to the health and wellness industry, it is crucial to follow federal regulations when it comes to medical procedures and diagnoses.
