Which statement about license display at facilities is true?

• A. Must display the license and permits at each facility.
• B. Only display the license at the primary facility.
• C. No license display requirement.
• D. Copies of the license can be kept offsite.

Answer: (A)

The requirement being tested is that licensure information must be visible to the public at every place where care is provided. In Louisiana, the license and any facility permits need to be posted in a conspicuous place at each facility where dental hygiene services are delivered. This makes it easy for patients and regulators to verify that the practitioner is currently licensed and that the facility is authorized to operate, no matter which location the patient visits. Displaying the license only at a primary site or keeping copies offsite would not meet this standard, so posting at every facility is the correct practice.
