What should a licensee do to maintain current knowledge of rules?

• A. Regularly review guidelines, participate in trainings, and pursue ongoing education.
• B. Read only during initial training.
• C. Only rely on a mentor for updates.
• D. Wait until a violation occurs to learn.

Answer: (A)

Staying current with rules means engaging in ongoing learning and regular review. Rules and procedures change, so regularly reviewing guidelines, participating in trainings, and pursuing continuing education keeps you informed about new requirements and prepared to apply them correctly. This proactive approach helps protect clients, maintain professional standards, and meet licensure renewal expectations. Reading only during initial training misses updates, relying solely on a mentor may overlook official changes, and waiting for a violation to learn is reactive and risky.
