PTBC (Physical Therapy Board of California) California Law Practice Exam

What must every citation issued include?

1. The license number only

2. The name of the patient involved

3. Details of the nature and facts of the violation

4. A pre-written apology letter to the board

The correct answer is: Details of the nature and facts of the violation

This is because a citation is a formal document that outlines a violation or infraction and provides evidence to support the claim. It is important for the details of the nature and facts of the violation to be included in a citation to accurately convey the seriousness of the situation. Options A, B, and D do not provide sufficient information about the violation and therefore are not appropriate for inclusion in a citation. Option A only includes the license number which is not enough to convey the specific violation. Option B only includes the name of the patient involved, which may not be relevant to the violation itself. Option D includes a pre-written apology letter, which is not necessary for a citation and may not accurately reflect the circumstances of the violation. Thus, the best option for inclusion in a citation is option C, details of the nature and facts of the violation.
