Which item is listed as an exception to the chapter's practice restrictions?

• A. A massage therapist acting within her or his scope of practice authorized in chapter 480
• B. The practice of the religious tenets of any church
• C. Domestic administration of recognized family remedies
• D. Unpaid medical expenses

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is what the statute allows as an exception to strict practice restrictions. Domestic administration of recognized family remedies is listed as such an exception, meaning that home care by a layperson for family members using remedies that are commonly recognized within a family context is not considered professional practice requiring licensure. This reflects a boundary between everyday home care and formal, licensed practice. The other options describe activities tied to licensed practice or aren’t listed as exemptions in this chapter, so they don’t qualify as exceptions in this context.
