(2) prescribes or administers a treatment that is nontherapeutic in nature or nontherapeutic in the manner the treatment is prescribed or administered;
(3) violates Section 311.0025, Health and Safety Code;
(4) fails to supervise adequately the activities of those acting under the supervision of the chiropractor; or
(5) delegates professional chiropractic responsibility or acts to a person if the delegating chiropractor knows or has reason to know that the person is not qualified by training, experience, or licensure to perform the responsibility or acts.
