What actions may the Board take in response to a crime conviction related to a physical therapist's qualifications?

Immediately renew the license
Only issue a warning
Suspend or revoke the license, or decline to issue one
Take no action

The correct answer is: Suspend or revoke the license, or decline to issue one

The Board has the authority to take various actions in response to a crime conviction related to a physical therapist's qualifications. Option A is incorrect because a conviction may raise concerns about a physical therapist's fitness to practice and needs to be thoroughly reviewed before renewing a license. Similarly, option B is incorrect because it does not adequately address the seriousness of a crime conviction and the impact it may have on a physical therapist's ability to provide safe and effective care. Option D is incorrect because it does not address the need to protect the public and maintain the integrity of the profession. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate and comprehensive response as it provides the Board with the flexibility to suspend or revoke a license, or decline to issue one, depending on the severity and circumstances of the conviction.
