What is one condition that could lead to a suspension of a chiropractic license?

Failure to attend board meetings
Substance abuse issues
Unpaid taxes
Failure to report income correctly

The correct answer is: Substance abuse issues

Substance abuse issues can lead to a suspension of a chiropractic license because they directly impact a healthcare provider's ability to perform their duties safely and effectively. Chiropractors, like all healthcare professionals, are held to a high standard of practice and ethical behavior. If a chiropractor is found to be struggling with substance abuse, it raises concerns about their judgment, competency, and overall fitness to practice. Regulatory boards prioritize patient safety and public welfare; thus, any indication that a chiropractor may be impaired due to substance use can result in disciplinary actions, including license suspension. While the other conditions mentioned, such as failure to attend board meetings, unpaid taxes, or failure to report income correctly, may lead to various penalties or consequences, they do not directly affect the chiropractor's ability to provide safe and effective care in the same manner that substance abuse does.
