What does the board consider when deciding to impose disciplinary action?

  1. Only the severity of the violation

  2. Guidelines from 2009 with discretion for mitigating factors

  3. The recommendation of the supervising PT alone

  4. Public opinion and media reports

The correct answer is: Guidelines from 2009 with discretion for mitigating factors

When deciding to impose disciplinary action, the board considers guidelines from 2009 with discretion for mitigating factors. This means that the board takes into account the specific circumstances and context of the violation, rather than just relying on the severity alone (choice A) or the recommendation of the supervising PT alone (choice C). While public opinion and media reports (choice D) may play a role, they are not the only factor considered by the board. Additionally, the guidelines used by the board may have been updated since 2009, making choice B the most accurate and up-to-date choice.
