A middle-level health worker is defined as a health professional with skills beyond those of a registered nurse and short of those of a licensed physician.

• A. Middle-Level Health Workers
• B. Medical Assistant
• C. Nurse Practitioner
• D. Physician Assistant

Answer: (A)

Mid-level health workers are professionals who have more training and clinical responsibilities than a registered nurse but do not have the full scope of a licensed physician. This description fits the general category rather than a specific job title. Medical assistants are typically support staff with limited independent clinical duties, not mid-level providers. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants are examples of mid-level providers and illustrate the kind of advanced practice these roles entail, but the question is asking for the category itself, not a particular job title. Therefore, the best match is the generic label for this group: middle-level health workers.
