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

What must the Diversion Program do to evaluate a Physical Therapist's or Physical Therapist Assistant's eligibility?

1. Conduct an annual review

2. Evaluate eligibility and consider recommendations

3. Directly enroll without evaluating

4. Ignore recommendations from consultants

The correct answer is: Evaluate eligibility and consider recommendations

The Diversion Program must evaluate a Physical Therapist's or Physical Therapist Assistant's eligibility and consider recommendations in order to determine their acceptance into the program. This means that the program cannot simply rely on a past annual review or directly enroll the individual without any evaluation process. Additionally, it is important for the program to consider recommendations from consultants as they provide unbiased and professional assessments of the individual's eligibility. Ignoring these recommendations could lead to the program accepting individuals who may not be suitable for the program, potentially causing harm to both the individual and the program itself. Therefore, B is the most appropriate option as it encompasses a thorough evaluation and consideration of recommendations.
