Which event would NOT be considered a violation of chiropractic practice?

  1. Promptly returning a certificate or license

  2. Failing to inform a patient about treatment touching

  3. Involvement in suggestive remarks to a patient

  4. Touching a patient for non-diagnostic purposes

The correct answer is: Promptly returning a certificate or license

Promptly returning a certificate or license is not a violation of chiropractic practice because it is an act of compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In the context of chiropractic practice, maintaining professional licensing and adhering to the requirements of the regulatory body is crucial. Returning a certificate or license signifies that the practitioner is following proper procedure, perhaps in response to a disciplinary action or a voluntary decision to cease practice, and demonstrates respect for the legal framework governing chiropractic care. In contrast, the other scenarios relate to potential ethical and legal issues in practice. Failing to inform a patient about treatment touching may infringe on the patient's right to informed consent, which is fundamental in healthcare. Similarly, involvement in suggestive remarks may breach professional boundaries and can lead to allegations of misconduct or exploitation. Touching a patient for non-diagnostic purposes raises significant ethics concerns, as it could be interpreted as inappropriate physical contact, potentially harming the therapeutic relationship and leading to legal repercussions.
