What status can be assigned to a licensee who has retired from the practice of PT?

Inactive status
Temporary status
Retired status
Suspended status

The correct answer is: Retired status

Retired status is a classification that acknowledges a licensee's decision to stop practicing physical therapy while still recognizing their professional history and contributions to the field. When a physical therapist retires, they may wish to maintain a formal designation that indicates they are no longer practicing but still hold a valid license, reflecting their experience and adherence to professional standards throughout their career. Inactive status, while it also indicates a cessation of practice, does not convey the specific intention of retirement that the retired status does. Temporary and suspended statuses imply conditions that are less about personal choice regarding retirement and more about regulatory or disciplinary implications, which do not apply in this case.
