For what reasons can a Physical Therapist use electricity?

  1. Diagnostic purposes

  2. Surgical purposes

  3. Therapeutic purposes

  4. Prescribing medication

The correct answer is: Therapeutic purposes

A Physical Therapist can use electricity for therapeutic purposes, such as stimulating muscles, reducing pain, or promoting healing. While diagnostic purposes may involve the use of electrical equipment, this is not exclusive to Physical Therapy and can be done by other medical professionals. Surgical purposes would involve invasive techniques, which is not within the scope of practice for a Physical Therapist. Additionally, prescribing medication is the role of a medical doctor or nurse practitioner, not a Physical Therapist. Therefore, the correct and most accurate answer is C Therapeutic purposes.
