Explanation of Solution
Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA): Fair Labor Standard Act covers the standards and provisions for minimum wages, overtime pay, equal pay for equal work irrespective of sex, recordkeeping, and child labor.

- If they perform medically related duties or provided more than a limited amount of care.
- If they are employed by third-party employers.

Individual Employee Coverage is applicable to the employee, if he/she fulfills the following conditions:
- An employee is involved in interstate commerce or production of goods for interstate commerce.
- An employee is engaged in fringe occupation associated directly or indirectly with the production of goods for interstate commerce.
Justification for Statement 1, Statement 3, and Statement 5:
As per Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA), these statements are true. Hence these are incorrect options.
