Which action would require disciplinary action?

• A. Providing standard of care within the scope
• B. Performing acts prohibited by the state
• C. Documenting patient data accurately
• D. Following facility policy

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is that disciplinary action happens when a practitioner violates laws or regulations that govern the licensed scope of practice. In radiologic technology, state rules define what you may and may not do. Performing acts that the state prohibits is a direct violation of those rules and is grounds for disciplinary action by the licensing board. Staying within the approved scope, accurately documenting patient data, and following facility policy are all expectations that support safe and compliant practice. They do not inherently trigger discipline when carried out properly. The crucial point is that actions prohibited by law or regulation—outside the legally defined scope—are the ones that would require disciplinary action.
