Is it considered unprofessional conduct to perform EMG or electroneuromyography without authorization?

Yes, unless it's for board experience requirements and supervised
No, anyone can perform it
Yes, under all circumstances
No, if the person is a licensed PT

The correct answer is: Yes, unless it's for board experience requirements and supervised

Performing EMG or electroneuromyography without proper authorization can be considered unprofessional conduct. Option B, "No, anyone can perform it," is incorrect because performing these procedures without proper training and authorization can be dangerous for the patient and lead to potential legal consequences. Option C, "Yes, under all circumstances," is incorrect because there may be instances where proper authorization is obtained, such as for board experience or under supervision. Option D, "No, if the person is a licensed PT," is also incorrect because even though a licensed PT may have training and authority to perform these procedures, it is still important to obtain proper authorization before conducting them.
