What can result in an exemption from continuing competency hours due to health status?

  1. Short-term illness

  2. Total physical/mental disability for 1 year

  3. Being underweight

  4. Having a common cold

The correct answer is: Total physical/mental disability for 1 year

One's health status can affect their ability to fulfill continuing competency hours. The only acceptable reason for exemption is a total physical or mental disability lasting for 1 year. Short-term illnesses, such as a common cold, do not qualify for exemption as they are not long-lasting enough. Being underweight, while a health condition, does not affect one's ability to complete continuing competency hours and therefore is not a valid reason for exemption. It is important to note that being underweight is not synonymous with having a disabling condition.
