Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding a licensee who has begun performing acupuncture with skin penetration to treat fibromyalgia patients?

  1. An individual can perform acupuncture if licensed through the Board of Medicine

  2. Certification from a different state allows one to perform acupuncture lawfully

  3. Revocation of license will occur immediately

  4. A year of probationary practice can be required

The correct answer is: A year of probationary practice can be required

The correct answer pertains to the requirement that a licensee performing acupuncture with skin penetration in Florida must adhere to specific regulations and guidelines set forth by the state. The possibility of a year of probationary practice can stem from various issues, including practicing without the required certification or when there are concerns regarding professional conduct or competency. When acupuncture involves skin penetration, the practice becomes more regulated, and licensees might be placed on probationary status to ensure they are complying with established protocols and maintaining safe practices. This period allows for oversight and support as practitioners refine their skills and adherence to legal requirements. In contrast, other options do not accurately reflect the regulatory framework. Simply having a license through the Board of Medicine does not inherently authorize the performance of acupuncture, particularly if one has not completed the necessary training or certification. Certification from another state holds no legal weight in Florida for acupuncture practice, highlighting the need for state-specific licensing. Lastly, revocation of a license typically follows due process and does not occur instantaneously; it requires an investigation or hearing based on allegations or violations.
