QUESTION 1
Which of the following best defines the scope of practice for an RCA in
Indiana?
A) All cosmetic procedures including surgical interventions
B) Only basic skincare and makeup application
C) Non-invasive aesthetic treatments as defined by Indiana state law and the RCA
license
D) Exclusively medical procedures requiring physician supervision
E) Any procedure that clients request and are willing to pay for
✓ CORRECT ANSWER: C) Non-invasive aesthetic treatments as defined by
Indiana state law and the RCA license
,Rationale: The scope of practice for an RCA in Indiana is strictly defined by state
statutes and licensing board regulations. RCAs are authorized to perform non-
invasive aesthetic treatments such as facials, chemical peels, microdermabrasion,
and other approved procedures. Options A, B, D, and E exceed or fall below the
legal scope—surgical interventions require different licensure, makeup application
alone doesn't constitute RCA practice, medical procedures require physician
oversight, and clients cannot override scope of practice limitations.

QUESTION 2
What is the primary purpose of the Indiana Professional Licensing Board
regulations for RCAs?
A) To maximize the number of practitioners in the state
B) To protect public health and safety by establishing standards of practice
C) To increase competition among aesthetic clinics
D) To eliminate smaller aesthetic practices
E) To reduce the cost of aesthetic services
✓ CORRECT ANSWER: B) To protect public health and safety by establishing
standards of practice
Rationale: All professional licensing regulations exist primarily to safeguard the
public. The Indiana regulations for RCAs establish minimum competency standards,
ethical requirements, continuing education obligations, and disciplinary
procedures—all designed to protect consumers from substandard or unsafe
practices. The other options reflect business considerations rather than the
regulatory intent.

,QUESTION 3
Which of the following is required to obtain an initial RCA license in Indiana?
A) A high school diploma and one year of work experience
B) Completion of an approved aesthetic curriculum and passing the state
examination
C) Only payment of the license fee
D) Recommendation from a physician
E) Master's degree in cosmetology
✓ CORRECT ANSWER: B) Completion of an approved aesthetic curriculum and
passing the state examination
Rationale: Indiana law requires RCA applicants to complete education from an
approved training program covering anatomy, physiology, skin disorders,
contraindications, sanitation, and professional ethics, followed by successful
completion of the state jurisprudence and practical examination. A high school
diploma alone is insufficient, payment alone doesn't constitute licensure, physician
recommendation is not required, and a master's degree in cosmetology is not the
specified requirement.

professional standards. The two-year cycle balances the need for regulatory
oversight with practical administrative considerations.

must be in relevant topics such as professional development, regulatory updates,
new techniques, and safety protocols. This requirement ensures that practitioners
remain current with industry standards and regulatory changes.
