,Laws & Regulations Governing Practice (15 Questions)
Question 1
Under the Administrative Procedure Act, which of the following procedural safeguards must a
state licensing board provide before revoking a practitioner's license?
A. A written notice of proposed revocation and an opportunity for a hearing before an impartial
adjudicator
B. Only an oral notice is required, provided it is delivered within 30 days of the alleged violation
C. Immediate revocation without notice if the board deems the conduct a threat to public safety
D. A written notice is optional if the practitioner has previously been warned in writing
Correct Answer
A written notice of proposed revocation and an opportunity for a hearing before an impartial
adjudicator
Rationale:
The APA mandates due process: notice and a hearing before any adverse licensure action, ensuring fairness and
protecting constitutional rights.
Question 2
A statute defines the scope of practice for dental hygienists to include only "preventive and
therapeutic services under the direct supervision of a licensed dentist." Which legal principle
most accurately limits a hygienist's ability to perform restorative procedures independently?
A. The doctrine of implied authority
B. The principle of delegated authority
C. The rule of professional autonomy
D. The concept of concurrent jurisdiction
Correct Answer
The principle of delegated authority
Rationale:
Delegated authority confines the hygienist's activities to tasks expressly granted by the supervising dentist,
preventing independent restorative work.

,Question 3
When a licensing board imposes a disciplinary sanction based on a 'preponderance of
evidence' standard, which of the following best describes the evidentiary burden?
A. The practitioner must prove innocence beyond a reasonable doubt
B. The board must prove the allegations are more likely true than not
C. Both parties share equal burden of proof to the standard of clear and convincing evidence
D. The practitioner bears the burden to show any doubt in the board's findings
Correct Answer
The board must prove the allegations are more likely true than not
Rationale:
Administrative hearings typically use the preponderance standard, requiring the accuser (board) to show that it is
more likely than not that the violation occurred.
Question 4
Which of the following best illustrates the legal theory of "regulatory capture" as it pertains to
professional practice statutes?
A. A legislature enacts stricter licensing exams to improve public safety
B. A professional association drafts licensing regulations that primarily benefit its members
rather than the public
C. A court overturns a licensing board decision due to lack of jurisdiction
D. A practitioner voluntarily exceeds the scope of practice without sanction
Correct Answer
A professional association drafts licensing regulations that primarily benefit its members rather
than the public
Rationale:
Regulatory capture occurs when the regulated profession influences rulemaking to serve its own interests,
potentially compromising public protection.

, Question 5
In jurisdictions that have codified the "standard of care" into statute, how does statutory law
typically interact with common law precedents in determining professional liability?
A. Statutory standards supersede all common law rulings, rendering case law irrelevant
B. Statutory standards serve as a baseline, while common law can expand or clarify the duty
C. Common law completely overrides statutory language if it is older
D. Both statutory and common law standards are merged, creating a hybrid test without
hierarchy
Correct Answer
Statutory standards serve as a baseline, while common law can expand or clarify the duty
Rationale:
Statutes set minimum expectations; courts may interpret or augment them through case law, especially when
statutes are vague.
Question 6
A state requires 30 continuing education (CE) credits every two years for license renewal,
including at least 6 credits in ethics. Which enforcement method is most consistent with the
principle of proportionality in regulatory law?
A. Imposing a $5,000 fine for any failure to meet the CE requirement, regardless of
circumstance
B. Suspending the license for six months until the missing CE credits are completed
C. Allowing a one‑year grace period with a reduced fee before any punitive action
D. Issuing a formal warning without any impact on licensure status
Correct Answer
Suspending the license for six months until the missing CE credits are completed
Rationale:
Proportionality demands a sanction that matches the seriousness of the breach; temporary suspension directly
addresses non‑compliance while preserving the right to practice after remediation.
