Who is responsible for assuring that all records are maintained in accordance with the applicable licensing regulations?

• A. The supervising licensee
• B. The board
• C. The licensee
• D. The committee

Answer: (A)

Supervisory accountability for record-keeping. In a practice where a supervising licensee oversees others, the supervisor is responsible for ensuring that all records are kept in accordance with licensing regulations. They implement the record-keeping system, review and sign off on documentation, and ensure compliance for anyone practicing under their license. The board sets and enforces the rules, but it isn’t the one maintaining the daily records at the site. While each licensee must comply personally, the key duty to guarantee proper records across the practice rests with the supervising licensee.
