1. 1A doctoral graduate advertises services in Oklahoma using the title “psychologist.” What fact makes that person a psychologist under the Licensing Act’s title-based definition?

   1. A. The person uses a title or service description containing psychology, psychological, or psychologist
   2. B. The person holds any doctorate that includes one psychology course
   3. C. The person provides consultation only to a corporation
   4. D. The person belongs to a national psychological association

   Answer: A

   Explanation: The Act defines a psychologist as a person using a title or service description incorporating “psychology,” “psychological,” or “psychologist,” or offering services defined as psychology practice. The advertisement therefore triggers the definition.

   Reference: STATE OF OKLAHOMA BOARD OF EXAMINERS OF PSYCHOLOGISTS — 59 O.S. § 1352(2), p. 1

2. 2A signed inquiry about a licensed psychologist lacks some required form details, but the Board can independently verify its allegations. Under Chapter 1, how may the Board handle the inquiry?

   1. A. It must reject the inquiry until every formal detail is corrected.
   2. B. It may process the inquiry if it finds sufficient reliability.
   3. C. It must transfer the inquiry to the district court for filing.
   4. D. It may proceed only after the psychologist waives a hearing.

   Answer: B

   Explanation: OAC 575:1-1-3(b) allows the Board to process written inquiries "which are not in substantial compliance" when it finds reliability or independently verifiable allegations. Thus the missing form detail does not compel rejection, and neither a court transfer nor a waiver is the stated condition.

3. 3A child has no visible physical injury, but a caregiver intentionally threatens serious mental harm. Which fact brings the conduct within the Oklahoma Children's Code definition of abuse?

   1. A. The threatened nonaccidental mental injury by a responsible caregiver
   2. B. The child's ordinary distress from accidental conduct by a caregiver
   3. C. The child's ordinary distress from discipline using ordinary force
   4. D. The threatened mental injury by a peer with no caregiving role

   Answer: A

   Explanation: The Code defines abuse as "harm or threatened harm" by a person responsible for the child's welfare and includes "nonaccidental physical or mental injury"; ordinary-force parental discipline is separately qualified. The correct option contains the responsible actor and nonaccidental mental-harm elements absent from the alternatives.

   Reference: Oklahoma Statutes, Title 10A — Oklahoma Children's Code, current definitions, abuse paragraph 2, p. 26

4. 4For Oklahoma’s physician- and psychotherapist-patient privilege, when does a licensed psychologist fit the definition of “psychotherapist”?

   1. A. Whenever serving on any public committee
   2. B. While engaged in diagnosing or treating a mental or emotional condition
   3. C. Only while administering an employment test
   4. D. Only when a physician is physically present

   Answer: B

   Explanation: 12 O.S. § 2503(A)(3)(b) includes a person licensed or certified as a psychologist “while similarly engaged,” referring to diagnosis or treatment of a mental or emotional condition, including addiction.

   Reference: Title 12 (2025) — 12 O.S. § 2503(A)(3), p. 455

5. 5An Oklahoma service contract covers psychological services within a licensed psychologist's lawful scope. A subscriber chooses an Oklahoma licensed psychologist and satisfies the contract's other conditions. Which reimbursement decision follows § 2621?

   1. A. Deny payment because the subscriber selected the psychologist
   2. B. Deny payment unless a physician selected the psychologist
   3. C. Allow payment only when the plan selected the psychologist
   4. D. Do not deny payment merely for the subscriber's choice

   Answer: D

   Explanation: Section 2621 says selection may be made by the subscriber and, when other conditions are met, "reimbursement shall not be denied" for service by the licensed practitioner. Selection by a physician or the plan is not a substitute for the subscriber's statutory choice.

   Reference: Oklahoma Statutes, Title 36 — 36 O.S. § 2621(A)(2), p. 693

6. 6Which legal instrument does Oklahoma law explicitly declare insufficient by itself to authorize disclosure of mental health treatment information?

   1. A. A subpoena
   2. B. A patient authorization
   3. C. A valid court order
   4. D. A statutory disclosure exception

   Answer: A

   Explanation: 43A O.S. § 1-109(D) states that treatment information generally requires valid patient authorization or a valid court order and that “a subpoena by itself is not sufficient to authorize disclosure.”

   Reference: Title 43 a (2025) — 43A O.S. § 1-109(D), p. 25

7. 7After gaining reasonable cause to suspect exploitation of an Oklahoma vulnerable adult, when must a psychologist report?

   1. A. As soon as aware
   2. B. Within 24 hours
   3. C. Within 72 hours
   4. D. Within 30 days

   Answer: A

   Explanation: 43A O.S. § 10-104(A) requires a person with reasonable cause to believe a vulnerable adult is suffering abuse, neglect, or exploitation to report “as soon as the person is aware of the situation.”

   Reference: Title 43 a (2025) — 43A O.S. § 10-104(A), current version, p. 207

8. 8An Oklahoma hospital receives a professional staff-privilege application from a psychology practitioner. Which psychology credential does § 1-707a expressly require the hospital to accept for consideration?

   1. A. A Board-approved psychological technician working under supervision
   2. B. A State Department of Education certified school psychologist
   3. C. A candidate approved for private practice under supervision
   4. D. A Board-licensed health service psychologist

   Answer: D

   Explanation: Section 1-707a directs the hospital to "accept for consideration each application for professional staff privileges" from a person licensed "As a health service psychologist" by the Oklahoma Board. This requires consideration, not automatic approval of privileges.

   Reference: Oklahoma Statutes, Title 63 — 63 O.S. § 1-707a(A)(4), p. 277

9. 9An Oklahoma psychologist-license holder is out of compliance with state income-tax law. Under § 238.1(A), what minimum notice period must the Tax Commission allow before notifying the licensing entity of noncompliance?

   1. A. One month of advance notice
   2. B. Three months of advance notice
   3. C. Six months of advance notice
   4. D. Twelve months of advance notice

   Answer: C

   Explanation: Section 238.1(A) says the Tax Commission must allow "at least six (6) months notice" before notifying a licensing entity of noncompliance. The question asks for the minimum required period, so a longer period is not the statutory minimum.

   Reference: Oklahoma Statutes, Title 68 — 68 O.S. § 238.1(A), p. 118

10. 10A former patient asks an Oklahoma medical institution for an x-ray image in the patient's own record. How does 76 O.S. § 19(A)(1) treat that image in the patient's access request?

    1. A. The image is included within the medical-record access right.
    2. B. The image is available only after an insurer requests it.
    3. C. The image is excluded unless the patient has filed a lawsuit.
    4. D. The image is available only after a court orders disclosure.

    Answer: A

    Explanation: Section 19(A)(1) grants patient access to records "including any x-ray or other photograph or image" and medical bills. The institution therefore cannot treat the patient's own x-ray as categorically outside the access right on the stated facts.

    Reference: Oklahoma Statutes, Title 76 — §76-19(A)(1), p. 18
