1. 1Where must a New Hampshire optometrist place the current biennial license renewal?

   1. A. In every office where the optometrist practices
   2. B. Only at the principal business office
   3. C. Only at the office where records are stored
   4. D. At one office chosen for each renewal cycle

   Answer: A

   Explanation: RSA 327:16 requires an optometrist to "display the current biennial renewal of the license in every office where the optometrist practices." Therefore, displaying it only at one location is insufficient.

   Reference: 327 Mrg — RSA 327:16

2. 2What score satisfies the passing requirement for the New Hampshire law examination administered on the Board's behalf?

   1. A. 70% or greater
   2. B. 72% or greater
   3. C. 75% or greater
   4. D. 80% or greater

   Answer: C

   Explanation: Opt 301.05(c) provides, "The passing grade shall be 75% or greater." A lower percentage does not satisfy the rule.

   Reference: Opt 502.05(a)-(b) — Opt 301.05(c)

3. 3Absent timely renewal, when does a New Hampshire optometrist license expire in its renewal year?

   1. A. June 30
   2. B. July 1
   3. C. July 31
   4. D. December 31

   Answer: B

   Explanation: Opt 401.01 states, "All licenses shall expire on July 1 of every other year unless renewed." July 1 is therefore the operative expiration date.

   Reference: Opt 502.05(a)-(b) — Opt 401.01

4. 4For how long after the last account activity must an optometrist retain patient clinical and business records?

   1. A. Three years
   2. B. Five years
   3. C. Seven years
   4. D. Ten years

   Answer: C

   Explanation: Opt 501.02(p) requires retention "for a minimum of 7 years following the last activity on the account." Seven years is the minimum period.

   Reference: Opt 502.05(a)-(b) — Opt 501.02(p)

5. 5Which information may OPLC disclose from its registry when someone requests information about a New Hampshire optometrist?

   2. B. The licensee's complete application file
   3. C. The licensee's confidential health information
   4. D. The licensee's name, license type, number, and status

   Answer: D

   Explanation: Plc 301.04(c)(2) permits disclosure of "The name, license type, license number, and license status of any licensee or category of licensees for whom the information is requested." Private contact information is not part of that disclosure.

   Reference: Plc 300 — Plc 301.04(c)(2)

6. 6How many controlled drugs may appear on one New Hampshire controlled-drug prescription blank?

   1. A. Two
   2. B. Three

   Reference: Rsa318B — RSA 318-B:9, III(c)

7. 7A patient asks a licensed optometrist to show proof of licensure. What is the optometrist required to do?

   1. A. Refer the patient to the online registry
   2. B. Exhibit the license or current renewal
   3. C. Provide proof only upon a board request
   4. D. Provide proof only with a written request

   Answer: B

   Explanation: RSA 327:16 says the optometrist "shall exhibit the license or renewal upon request." A patient's request therefore triggers the duty.

   Reference: 327 Mrg — RSA 327:16

8. 8By what date must an optometrist submit a regular license renewal in the renewal year?

   1. A. May 31
   2. B. June 1
   3. C. July 1
   4. D. June 30

   Answer: D

   Explanation: Opt 401.02 requires renewal "no later than June 30 of the renewal year." Waiting until July 1 is untimely.

   Reference: Opt 502.05(a)-(b) — Opt 401.02

9. 9Within what period must an optometrist furnish requested patient records under Opt 501.02?

   1. A. 5 calendar days
   2. B. 7 business days
   3. C. 30 calendar days
   4. D. 10 business days

   Answer: D

   Explanation: Opt 501.02(q) requires the licensee to act "Within 10 business days" on a patient's records request.
