Regarding continuing education hours, does the notes specify the exact required hours for a biennial license period?

• A. 12 hours
• B. 24 hours
• C. The specific number is not provided in the notes
• D. 40 hours

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is that study notes may not spell out every exact regulatory detail, so you should rely on the governing rules for the precise requirement. In this item, the notes do not provide the exact number of continuing education hours required for a biennial license period. Because the exact figure isn’t contained in the notes, the correct choice is that the specific number is not provided in the notes. To know the exact requirement, you’d refer to the current rules set by the Louisiana State Board of Dentistry or applicable statutes, since these can change over time. The other options propose a fixed number, but without the notes giving that figure, they aren’t supported by the material provided.
