IN DH Juris study plan

Map the Indiana Dental Practice Act's statutory structure by writing a one-page outline of its articles and the board's rulemaking authority.

Define at least 25 statutory terms (dental hygiene, supervision, direct/indirect/general supervision, delegation) in your own words without looking at the text.

Distinguish the three supervision levels by building a comparison table listing who may perform what and under whose presence.

Identify which statutory sections govern hygienist scope versus dentist scope and note where they cross-reference each other.

Categorize at least 20 clinical procedures into never-delegable, delegable-with-supervision, and expanded-function categories.

Trace the statutory pathway a hygienist follows to add an expanded function, including any required coursework or certification.

Explain in writing the difference between a delegated task and an expanded function and give two examples of each.

Draft five scenario prompts (patient type, procedure, setting) and resolve each to the correct supervision level with a citation.

Rehearse delegation scenarios aloud, stating the rule, the exception, and the correct answer in under 60 seconds each.

Compare hygienist scope rules against dentist-only procedures and list ten tasks that may never be delegated.

Identify common exam traps in delegation questions (setting, patient condition, emergency exceptions) and write a note for each.

Self-quiz on 40 mixed delegation and supervision items and log every miss with the underlying rule.

Outline the licensure pathway step by step from application through initial issuance, including examination and background requirements.

List every renewal deadline, fee, and late-renewal consequence in a dated timeline.

Summarize the disciplinary process from complaint intake through hearing and board action, naming each stage.

Match at least eight categories of board action (reprimand, probation, suspension, revocation, civil penalty) to the conduct that triggers them.

Build a continuing-education checklist stating required hours, permissible categories, and recordkeeping obligations.

Define unprofessional conduct by listing at least 12 enumerated behaviors and paraphrasing each.

Apply the ethics rules to five short conduct vignettes and justify each outcome with the governing provision.

Identify reporting duties (impairment, misconduct, adverse events) and who must report to whom.

Sequence a complete instrument reprocessing cycle from chairside through storage, naming each required step.

List the required elements of a patient record and the retention period, and note what makes a record deficient.

Explain the elements of valid informed consent and identify when consent must be documented in writing.

Describe confidentiality obligations and the permitted disclosures that do not require authorization.

State the requirements for administering local anesthesia and nitrous oxide, including permits, training, and supervision.

Differentiate prescriptive authority held by dentists from any authority extended to hygienists and note the limits.

Resolve ten vignettes on anesthesia, sedation, and prescribing to the correct rule and required documentation.

Review your week-5 ethics notes and reconcile them with anesthesia and prescribing scenarios.

Take two full-length timed practice exams and record domain-level accuracy for each.

Re-study only the two weakest domains, re-reading your own notes and cheat sheets rather than new material.

Recite the statutory structure and supervision levels from memory in a five-minute verbal run-through.

Build a final one-page rapid-review sheet of dates, deadlines, and numeric thresholds.
