What can a physical therapist administer according to compliance?

  1. Topical medications

  2. Oral medications

  3. Intravenous medications

  4. None

The correct answer is: Topical medications

A physical therapist is not allowed to administer oral or intravenous medications due to lack of medical training and licensure. Topical medications, however, do not require extensive training and can be administered by a physical therapist under careful supervision and compliance guidelines. Therefore, the correct answer is A. The other options, B, C, and D, are incorrect because they go beyond the scope of a physical therapist's practice.
