2. 2An Ohio chiropractor has learned a diagnostic procedure at a board-approved chiropractic college. Which condition governs whether the chiropractor may use it in practice?

   1. A. The college's instruction permits it even if an Ohio board rule expressly prohibits it.
   2. B. It must fit the chiropractor's training and remain unprohibited by Ohio law or board rules.
   3. C. A patient consent form permits it even if it exceeds the chiropractor's actual training.

   Answer: B

   Explanation: "(A) In the conduct of the practice of chiropractic no chiropractic physician shall perform any service that is beyond the scope of his or her education, training, and experience." "(B) The practice of chiropractic will include and permit the use of such diagnostic and treatment procedures as are taught by board approved chiropractic colleges except as prohibited by law and/or the rules of this board." The chiropractor needs suitable education, training and experience; college teaching does not override an Ohio law or board-rule prohibition.
