What action may a physician assistant or applicant face if found guilty of fraudulently altering licensing documents?

  1. Formal recognition

  2. Licensing renewal

  3. Disciplinary action

  4. Praise from the Board

The correct answer is: Disciplinary action

A physician assistant or applicant found guilty of fraudulently altering licensing documents could face disciplinary action because such behavior undermines the integrity of the licensing process and poses a significant risk to patient safety. When a healthcare professional engages in fraudulent activities, it violates ethical standards and legal regulations governing medical practice. Regulatory boards are tasked with maintaining these standards to ensure public trust and safety, thus they are likely to impose sanctions which can range from fines and probation to license suspension or revocation, depending on the severity of the offense. This response serves to uphold the profession's ethical codes and safeguard the welfare of patients who rely on the skills and integrity of licensed healthcare providers.
