Under what conditions can a PT perform tissue penetration for neuromuscular evaluation?

  1. At their discretion

  2. With authorization from MD/surgeon and PT board certification

  3. Without any restrictions

  4. Only in emergency situations

The correct answer is: With authorization from MD/surgeon and PT board certification

PTs can only perform tissue penetration for neuromuscular evaluation with authorization from an MD/surgeon and PT board certification. This is because tissue penetration involves the insertion of a needle or other instrument into the body, which can pose potential risks to the patient's health. Therefore, it is important for a PT to have proper authorization and training in order to safely perform this procedure. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not provide the necessary conditions for a PT to perform tissue penetration. Performing this procedure at their own discretion, without restrictions, or only in emergency situations can put the patient at risk and is not within a PT's scope of practice.
