if you are using electrical currents to treat your clients skin in an electrotherapy procedure, which of the following is true of this treatment that you are giving your client?
select the correct response:
you are not using a probe in this procedure.
the currents being used must be either negative or positive; both cannot be used.
the current being used is considered a modality.
you must be using tesla high-frequency current.

Explanation:

• Electrotherapy skin treatments typically use probes, so the first option is false.
• Many electrotherapy modalities can switch between positive and negative currents, so the second option is false.
• Electrotherapy encompasses multiple current types (not only Tesla high-frequency), so the fourth option is false.
• In electrotherapy, specific current types are classified as treatment modalities, making the third option true.

Answer:

The current being used is considered a modality.
