The use of “they” in that context is grammatically proper. I am not sure why you ar triggered over that.

Do you think her daughter is plural? Her daughter is a she, NOT a they.

This is a girl

The subject is a daughter, not a group of daughters.

Why is that grammatically proper?

"Based on N's physical exam and well visit, they may participate..."

Wrong. N is singular. There is no instance in the English speaking world in which "they" is correct in this context.

Similarly, "ar" is never grammatically proper.
