After examining a patient's neuromusculoskeletal system, an Ohio physical therapist identifies a movement-related condition and uses that judgment to establish the therapeutic intervention plan. The therapist does not purport to diagnose a disease. Under Ohio law, this judgment is:
Correct answer: C - A physical therapy diagnosis, not a medical diagnosis
A proposal would revise Ohio rules governing physical therapist assistant supervision and delegation. Which body has statutory responsibility for adopting those practice rules?
Correct answer: A - The Board's Physical Therapy Section
During a regular biennial renewal cycle, an Ohio physical therapist completes 12 approved continuing-education units, serves 800 hours as a qualified clinical instructor, and completes the two-hour renewal jurisprudence module. Ohio awards one unit per 80 clinical-instruction hours, up to 12 units for a PT, and the module counts within the 24-unit total. How does the therapist stand?
Correct answer: D - The therapist has exactly 24 units and meets the renewal requirement
An internationally educated physical therapist applicant submits TOEFL iBT scores of Writing 27, Speaking 25, Reading 24, Listening 22, and Total 98. Ohio requires minimum scores of 24, 26, 21, 18, and 89 respectively. What is the correct determination?
Correct answer: B - The applicant does not qualify because Speaking is below 26
A physical therapist passed OH JAM before obtaining an initial Ohio PT Compact privilege and is now completing the first renewal of that privilege. Which OH JAM requirement applies to this renewal?

An Ohio physical therapist assistant's reinstated license will be valid for 10 months before the next renewal. For a reinstated license valid 12 months or less, Ohio requires half the ordinary PTA total; ordinary category limits do not apply, the renewal jurisprudence module is not required, and previously used units cannot be reused. What is the minimum next-renewal requirement?
Correct answer: C - Six new units, without ordinary category limits or the module
During a direct-access visit for low-back pain, a patient reports new urinary retention and saddle numbness that began that morning. The initial physical therapy visit was three days earlier. Which response best addresses these findings under Ohio's direct-access rule?
Correct answer: D - Arrange urgent referral to an appropriate licensed health care professional
A recent Doctor of Physical Therapy graduate has not yet received an Ohio license. While working as an aide, the graduate is listed on the clinic's patient-facing website as "Jordan Lee, DPT" under a heading labeled "Our Therapists." How should the listing be treated under Ohio law?
Correct answer: B - The listing is prohibited because it implies authority to practice
An Indiana physical therapist holds an unrestricted Indiana license and is employed by a professional athletic team based there. On the therapist's 45th calendar day practicing in Ohio that year, the therapist treats the team's mascot at the event venue, not in a health care facility. How does Ohio law treat this practice?
Correct answer: C - It fits the traveling-team exemption while those conditions remain met
