Ohio Physical Therapy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

What defines 'Unlicensed Personnel' in physical therapy practice?

1. Personnel without any training

2. Any person on the job trained to assist PTs and PTAs

3. Licensed health care workers not specialized in PT

4. Individuals refusing to obtain licensure

The correct answer is: Any person on the job trained to assist PTs and PTAs

'Unlicensed Personnel' in physical therapy practice refers to any person on the job who is trained to assist PTs and PTAs. Option A cannot be correct because it states that unlicensed personnel have no training at all, which is not necessarily true. Option C can be eliminated because it discusses licensed health care workers, which does not fit the definition of unlicensed personnel. Option D is incorrect because it refers to individuals who refuse to obtain licensure, which does not accurately describe unlicensed personnel. Therefore, the correct answer is B as it accurately defines unlicensed personnel as individuals who are trained to assist PTs and PTAs while not holding a license themselves.
