Which action involves placing a practitioner on a probationary status?

The action that involves placing a practitioner on a probationary status is license suspension. When a professional's license is suspended, it often comes with terms that may require the individual to adhere to specific conditions, complete certain requirements, or demonstrate compliance to regain full licensure. This probationary element allows the board to monitor the practitioner's activities and ensure that they address any underlying issues that led to the suspension.

In contrast, monetary penalties, letters of reprimand, and censure do not inherently involve a probationary status. While these measures can represent disciplinary actions, they do not typically include an ongoing oversight mechanism like probation does. Monetary penalties are usually fines, letters of reprimand are formal statements of disapproval but do not restrict practice, and censure represents a formal expression of disapproval without the ongoing monitoring that probation entails.
