  1. 1A Nevada physical therapist performs and interprets strength and range-of-motion tests to guide treatment. How does Nevada law classify this activity?

    1. A. It is included in the practice of physical therapy
    2. B. It is reserved to medical diagnosis
    3. C. It is permitted only during a Board investigation
    4. D. It is outside physical therapy unless a PTA performs it

    Answer: A

    Explanation: NRS 640.024(1)(a) includes “The performing and interpreting of tests and measurements as an aid to evaluation or treatment” in physical-therapy practice. The described use therefore falls within the statutory practice definition.

  2. 2For a Nevada physical therapist exam candidate, which two examinations are required by the Board's current initial-licensure process?

    1. A. NPTE-PT and a practical skills demonstration
    2. B. NPTE-PT and an oral anatomy examination
    3. C. NPTE-PT and the Nevada Jurisprudence Assessment Module Examination
    4. D. Nevada Jurisprudence Assessment Module Examination and a clinical residency examination

    Answer: C

    Explanation: The Board's Exam Candidate Application Guide identifies NPTE eligibility in Step 5 and requires the “Nevada Jurisprudence Assessment Module Examination (NV JAM)” in Step 7. NAC 640.040(4) requires a passing score on each examination.

  3. 3A Nevada physical therapist is reviewing statutory professional boundaries. Which requested act must the therapist decline as outside the defined practice of physical therapy?

    1. A. Performing and interpreting tests to aid evaluation
    2. B. Planning treatment from test results
    3. C. Diagnosing a physical disability
    4. D. Administering therapeutic exercise

    Answer: C

    Explanation: NRS 640.024(2) says the practice definition “Does not include: (a) The diagnosis of physical disabilities.” Subsection 1 separately includes tests used as an aid to evaluation or treatment, treatment planning, and therapeutic exercise, so the therapist must recognize the boundary and decline the diagnostic act.

    2. B. Replace it with twelve months of supervised practice
    3. C. Retake it only after completing 1.5 CE units
    4. D. Request automatic passage by Board petition

  7. 7A Nevada physical therapist proposes using electrical current for cauterization during treatment. How is that act classified?

    1. A. Included as therapeutic electricity
    2. B. Excluded because electricity for cauterization or surgery is not physical-therapy practice
    3. C. Included if the patient gives written consent
    4. D. Included if a supervising physician is reachable

    Answer: B

    Explanation: Although NRS 640.024(1)(c) includes therapeutic agents using electricity, NRS 640.024(2)(c) specifically excludes “the use of electricity for cauterization or surgery.” The specific exclusion controls this scenario.

    1. A. Submit a separate Board approval request for Clinic B
    2. B. Transfer the Clinic A approval by telephone
    3. C. Wait until the graduate has 2,000 treatment hours
    4. D. Obtain approval from the continuing-education committee
