1. 1An Oregon clinic asks whether a person may practice veterinary medicine while the person's board-issued license is suspended. What is the correct response?

   1. A. The person may not practice while the license is suspended
   2. B. The person may practice only on animals already under care
   3. C. The person may practice if another licensee reviews each case
   4. D. The person may practice for 30 days while appealing

   Answer: A

   Explanation: The controlling source states, "license is not expired, revoked or suspended at the time of practice" ORS 686.020(1)(a) bars practice unless the person holds a valid license that is not expired, revoked, or suspended. A suspended license therefore does not authorize practice.

   Reference: Oregon Revised Statutes — ORS 686.020

2. 2In a written answer requesting a Board hearing, which response to an alleged factual matter prevents that matter from being presumed admitted?

   1. A. An affirmative defense stated in the written answer.
   2. B. An allegation left unanswered in the written answer.
   3. C. An express denial of that factual allegation in the answer.
   4. D. An omitted affirmative defense in the written answer.

   Answer: C

   Explanation: OAR 875-001-0015(2) states, "Factual matters alleged in the notice and not denied in the answer shall be presumed admitted". An express denial prevents that presumption. The rule separately makes unraised defenses waived and raised affirmative defenses presumed denied by the Board.

5. 5An Oregon veterinarian plans nonemergency diagnostic testing for a stable animal. The owner has not yet authorized the test. What must the practice do before proceeding?

   3. C. Obtain consent from a clinic employee before starting the test.
   4. D. Obtain owner consent before testing but leave it undocumented.

   Answer: A

   Explanation: OAR 875-011-0010(3) lists as unprofessional conduct, "Failure to obtain and maintain documented consent of the owner or owner’s agent prior to performing diagnostics, treatment, or surgery, except in emergency circumstances." This planned test is not an emergency, so consent must come from the owner or agent and be documented before testing.

   Reference: Oregon Administrative Rules, Chapter 875, Division 11 (Oregon Secretary of State) — OAR 875-011-0010(3)

6. 6What basic medical record does Oregon require for each animal patient?

   3. C. A group or client record for herd or flock animals
   4. D. A record retained three years after the last examination

   Reference: Oregon Administrative Rules — OAR 875-015-0030(1)

7. 7What baseline supervision rule applies to every duty performed by an Oregon CVT?

   2. B. Only invasive duties require supervision
   3. C. Only duties outside the facility require supervision
   4. D. Supervision is optional after one year of practice

   Explanation: The controlling source states, "All duties of a veterinary technician must be performed under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian" ORS 686.360 and OAR 875-030-0040(1) require all CVT duties to be performed under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian.

   Reference: Oregon Revised Statutes — ORS 686.360

8. 8A newly certified euthanasia technician intern is assigned to assist with euthanasia at an Oregon animal-control agency. What level of supervision does the intern's certificate require while acting?

   1. A. Indirect supervision by an Oregon CET or Oregon-licensed veterinarian.
   2. B. Immediate supervision by a CET licensed in another state.
   3. C. Immediate supervision by an Oregon CET or Oregon-licensed veterinarian.
   4. D. Direct supervision by an Oregon CET or Oregon-licensed veterinarian.

   Answer: C

   Explanation: OAR 875-040-0010(1) says, "CET Interns may not act independently but only under the immediate supervision of an Oregon CET or Oregon licensed veterinarian." C supplies both the required level and an authorized Oregon supervisor. An out-of-state CET does not meet the Oregon-CET designation, while direct and indirect supervision are different levels.

   Reference: Oregon Administrative Rules, Chapter 875, Division 40 (Oregon Secretary of State) — OAR 875-040-0010(1)
