1. 1When an Oregon veterinarian clinically suspects an immediately reportable disease, when should it be reported?

   1. A. Within 15 days after laboratory confirmation
   2. B. Immediately before initiating laboratory testing
   3. C. After confirming the laboratory submitted a report
   4. D. With the next facility renewal application

   Answer: B

   Explanation: ODA says immediately reportable diseases "must be reported via telephone ... upon clinical suspicion, prior to initiating laboratory testing." Reporting therefore precedes laboratory testing.

   2. B. 10 days after a facility ownership change
   3. C. 15 days after laboratory confirmation
   4. D. 3 business days after an emergency record request

   Answer: C

   Explanation: ODA states monitored diseases are "reportable within 15 days of laboratory confirmation." The same deadline applies to in-house confirmation.

5. 5Which event qualifies as laboratory confirmation for Oregon's monitored-disease reporting deadline?

   1. A. A positive result from in-house testing
   2. B. Clinical suspicion before testing begins
   3. C. Verification that a laboratory filed a report
   4. D. Observation of an exotic vector

   Answer: A

   Explanation: ODA states that monitored diseases are reportable after "laboratory confirmation (which may be in-house testing)." A positive in-house result therefore qualifies as confirmation.

   3. C. Submit the facility's annual self-inspection form
   4. D. Report the result only to the animal's owner

   Answer: A

   Explanation: ODA says, "it is the veterinarian's responsibility to confirm that the laboratory has reported the disease." The veterinarian must verify the automatic report.
