of physical therapy.

, • D. To set nationwide standards for physical therapy education.
Answer: B. To protect the public health, safety, and welfare by regulating the
practice of physical therapy.

consumer protection. The Act achieves this by setting standards for licensure,
defining the scope of practice, and establishing grounds for disciplinary action to
ensure only qualified individuals provide care.

requirements, which may include a jurisprudence exam.
• C. They can begin practicing immediately while their application is
processed.
• D. They must retake the NPTE for DC.
Answer: B. They must apply for licensure by endorsement and meet all DC
requirements, which may include a jurisprudence exam.
Detailed Solution: DC offers licensure by endorsement, recognizing licenses from
other jurisdictions. However, the applicant must still submit an application, pay
fees, provide verification of their license, and often pass a DC-specific
jurisprudence exam to demonstrate knowledge of DC laws and rules. Automatic
reciprocity is not standard.
3. According to DC regulations, when must a physical therapist renew their
license?
• A. Every 5 years.
• B. On a biennial basis (every 2 years), coinciding with the birth month of the
licensee.
