What is required for a PT to apply topical medications?

  1. Compliance with regulations and administration act

  2. A special certification in dermatology

  3. Permission from the patient

  4. No requirements, they can apply at discretion

The correct answer is: Compliance with regulations and administration act

Topical medications are applied directly to the skin and can have strong effects on the body, making it important for the PT to comply with regulations and administration acts to ensure safe and appropriate use. Option B is not necessary as it is a specialized certification and not a requirement. Option C is not the correct answer as it is not necessary for the patient to give permission for a PT to apply topical medications. Option D is incorrect as PTs must follow regulations and guidelines when administering any type of medication, not just topical medications. Thus, option A is the best and correct answer.
