1. 1A professional corporation wants to hold an Indiana speech-language pathology license in its own name. Who may be licensed under IC 25-35.6?

   1. A. Only an individual
   2. B. An individual or a professional corporation
   3. C. Any organization employing a licensed supervisor
   4. D. An individual or a nonprofit corporate body

   Answer: A

4. 4An Indiana business plans to rent a prescription hearing aid to a customer; the transaction does not involve an over-the-counter hearing aid. What fitting condition must be met before the rental?

   1. A. Fitted by a registered dealer or licensed audiologist during a live video visit
   2. B. Fitted by a registered dealer or licensed audiologist during an in-person visit
   3. C. Fitted by a registered dealer or licensed audiologist from mailed measurements
   4. D. Fitted by a registered dealer or licensed audiologist from home self-testing

   Answer: B

   Explanation: IC 25-35.6-4-1(b) requires that the "hearing aid has been fitted in person" by a registered hearing-aid dealer or licensed audiologist before sale, lease, or rental of a prescription aid. Video, mailed measurements, and customer self-testing are different fitting methods and do not meet the stated in-person condition. The OTC exception does not cover the prescription aid in the stem.

5. 5An Indiana audiologist uses a compact privilege to treat a client located in another compact member state. Which state's practice laws govern that encounter?

   2. B. The state where the audiologist holds a home-state license
   3. C. The state where the audiologist is physically located

   Answer: A

   Explanation: IC 25-35.6-5-3(h) requires practitioners to "comply with the state practice laws of the state in which the client is located at the time" of service. The home license supports the privilege, but it does not displace the client-location state's practice law.

   3. C. The employer pays for the required state and national criminal-history checks
   4. D. The licensing agency pays for the required state and national criminal-history checks
