What are Physical Therapists NOT allowed to do?

  1. Prescribe medications

  2. Apply topical medications with regulations

  3. Use electricity for surgical purposes

  4. Perform tissue penetration for evaluation

The correct answer is: Prescribe medications

Physical therapists are not allowed to prescribe medications because they are not trained to diagnose or administer medication treatment plans. While they may apply topical medications and use electricity for specific purposes under regulations, performing tissue penetration for evaluation is also not part of their scope of practice. This is typically left to physicians or other medical professionals who have received specific training in prescribing medications.
