Which of the following could result in the loss of a license?

Practicing without a mentor
Filing a false report
Refusing to attend board meetings
Having too many clients

The correct answer is: Filing a false report

Filing a false report is a serious ethical violation that can lead to the loss of a license. In the context of physical therapy and many other licensed professions, integrity and honesty are fundamental principles. Professionals are expected to provide accurate information to regulatory bodies and during any reporting processes. Committing fraud or misrepresentation, such as submitting false reports, undermines the trust placed in healthcare providers and can result in disciplinary action, including the revocation of a license. Regulatory boards prioritize maintaining high standards of care, and dishonesty directly conflicts with this mission. Such actions not only put patients at risk but also damage the reputation of the profession as a whole, leading to stringent penalties for those who engage in unethical behavior. This ensures that all licensed professionals adhere to the established codes of conduct designed to protect public safety and the integrity of the profession.
