Arizona Physical Therapy Jurisprudence Practice Exam

From which category must a licensed PT earn at least 10 contact hours?

1. Category A

2. Category B

3. Category C

4. Category D

The correct answer is: Category A

A licensed physical therapist must earn at least 10 contact hours from Category A because this category typically includes formal continuing education that is directly related to the practice of physical therapy, such as courses, workshops, or seminars that are approved by recognized accrediting bodies. Category A courses are fundamental for maintaining knowledge and skills relevant to patient care and ensuring practitioners stay current with the latest evidence-based practices. The requirement for contact hours in Category A emphasizes the importance of ongoing professional development in the core areas of physical therapy. This helps to ensure that therapists provide safe, effective, and high-quality care to their patients. The other categories may contain relevant content, but they do not hold the same mandatory status for the required number of contact hours to maintain licensure.
