Who bears the duty to inform the Louisiana board of the employer's name and location?

• A. Hygienist
• B. Employer
• C. Board
• D. None

Answer: (B)

The duty to inform the Louisiana board about the employer’s name and location rests with the employer. The board keeps records of where licensed clinicians practice and under whose supervision, and it is the employer—the entity that controls the practice site and the supervisory relationship—who must provide and update those details. While a hygienist works under supervision, the employer is responsible for reporting changes in practice location or employer identity to ensure the board’s records reflect actual practice settings and supervision. This linkage helps the board enforce supervision requirements and facility licensure, safeguarding public safety.
