NV Dental Hygiene Jurisprudence study plan

Map the Nevada Dental Practice Act into a one-page outline showing its major statutory sections and how the Board's regulations relate to each

Define every key statutory term (practice of dentistry, practice of dental hygiene, supervision types, direct/indirect supervision) in your own words with a citation for each

Identify which statutory provisions establish the Board's rulemaking authority versus its disciplinary authority

Build a personal glossary of 30 statutory terms with plain-language definitions

Compare direct, indirect, general, and public-health supervision and state for each what procedures a hygienist may perform and what conditions must exist

List the settings where a hygienist may practice without the physical presence of a dentist and the prerequisites for each

Distinguish tasks delegable to a dental assistant from those reserved to a hygienist

Write five scenario questions where the correct answer depends on identifying the supervision level, then answer and justify each

Identify restricted or expanded functions a hygienist may perform only after additional training or certification, and state the required credential for each

Explain the limits on local anesthesia and nitrous oxide administration by hygienists, including required education and supervision

Describe what prescribing authority, if any, a hygienist holds and who may prescribe in a dental setting

Trace the statutory pathway for a hygienist to obtain an expanded-function endorsement

Outline the initial licensure pathway: education, examinations, application materials, and criminal-background requirements

Describe the renewal cycle, late fees, and the consequences of practicing on a lapsed license

Summarize continuing education hour requirements and which course topics are mandated

Explain the reinstatement process for an expired or disciplined license, including any refresher or re-examination requirement

Describe the Board's composition, appointment process, and meeting structure

Sequence the steps of a disciplinary complaint from filing through investigation, hearing, findings, and appeal

Distinguish the range of sanctions available and the criteria that guide their selection

Identify the grounds for license denial or discipline and match each to a concrete fact pattern

Summarize infection-control requirements for standard precautions, sterilization monitoring, and recordkeeping of compliance

State the required content, retention period, and access rules for patient records and how corrections must be handled

List the mandatory reporting obligations that apply to hygienists and the timeframes for each

Define unprofessional conduct and patient rights, and identify at least eight behaviors that qualify as unprofessional

State the rules governing advertising, including prohibited claims, required disclosures, and how a hygienist may list credentials

Explain billing and fee-related prohibitions such as fee splitting and improper inducements

Describe practice-entity requirements, including what business forms are permitted and how ownership and supervision must be structured

Apply the ethics and advertising rules to six short fact patterns and identify the violation in each

Re-review your weakest three domains based on prior self-quiz scores and rewrite those summaries from memory

Complete two full-length timed practice sets and log every missed item by domain

Re-derive every supervision-level rule and disciplinary step without notes to confirm retention

Build a one-page final-review sheet limited to numbers, deadlines, and supervision triggers
