PART I: THE PREVIEW
Mastering this elite test bank translates directly to unimpeachable legal, ethical, and clinical
compliance within the jurisdiction of Wyoming. You will transcend rote memorization by
internalizing the legislative logic that protects both the patient and your professional license,
forging a cognitive framework that ensures absolute regulatory precision in high-stakes clinical
environments.
Critical Axioms & Statutory Architecture
The following tables synthesize the foundational legislative thresholds that dictate the practice of
physical therapy in Wyoming. These parameters represent the absolute legal boundaries
governing supervision, direct access, and continuing competence.

Direct Access & Telehealth Legal Thresholds Exceptions & Jurisdictional

Limits prescription is strictly limited to
12 visits or a 30-day period.

Individualized Education
Program (IEP) or Individualized
Family Services Plan (IFSP).
Telehealth Jurisdiction Patient Location Licensure requirements are
dictated by the physical location
of the patient. Providing care to
a patient located in Wyoming
requires a Wyoming license or
PT Compact Privilege.
, Professional Credentialing & Maintenance Mandates Reporting Deadlines
Disciplinary Protocols
Continuing Competence 30 CCUs Biennially Licensees require thirty (30)
Units (CCUs) CCUs every two years. A

impairment, felony convictions,
practice-related misdemeanors,
positive drug screens, or loss of
association membership within

Dry Needling Certification 27 Face-to-Face Hours Requires a minimum of
twenty-seven (27) hours of live,
face-to-face instruction. Online
hours are legally void.

prohibited.
PART II: THE ELITE TEST BANK
Tier 1 (Questions 1–10): Foundational Syntax & Application
Q1: A newly licensed physical therapist in Wyoming intends to utilize Grade V spinal
manipulations on a patient presenting with restricted lumbar mobility. Based on the principles of
the Wyoming Physical Therapy Practice Act, which action/conclusion is the MOST
ACCURATE?
A) The physical therapist may perform the manipulation immediately, as it falls under the
standard definition of manual therapy and entry-level competence. B) The physical therapist
may delegate the Grade V manipulation to a licensed physical therapist assistant if the assistant
possesses at least three years of continuous orthopedic experience. C) The physical therapist
must first complete advanced training requirements as determined by the Board before
performing Grade V manipulations. D) The physical therapist is strictly prohibited from
performing any Grade V manipulations, as this intervention is solely within the jurisdiction of
chiropractic and osteopathic medicine.
● Answer: C (The physical therapist must first complete advanced training requirements as
determined by the Board before performing Grade V manipulations.)
● Distractor Analysis:
○ A is incorrect: The Wyoming Practice Act explicitly defines manual therapy as
including mobilization and Grades I through IV manipulation. Grade V
manipulations are surgically excised from this baseline definition and demand
advanced training.
○ B is incorrect: High-velocity manipulation of the spine or peripheral joints is a
non-delegable task. It strictly cannot be delegated to a Physical Therapist Assistant
(PTA) under any circumstances.
○ D is incorrect: Wyoming physical therapists are not categorically prohibited from
performing Grade V thrusts; they are permitted to execute these techniques
