  2. A clearance by treating physician that his condition is controlled by medication.
  3. Anti-coagulation monitored by monthly INR.
  4. Nothing; person is qualified as his condition is controlled.
Explanation
Answer: A - Nothing; person is disqualified.

This is the correct answer because a multiple number ofunprovokedseizures constitutes a medical history of epilepsy. According to FMCSA’s guidelines,a person with epilepsy must be disqualified. Conditional certification (for 1 year) is possible if the person has been seizure free for a minimum of 10 years AND is off anti-seizure medication.
