Which items are listed as change of status events for prescribers?

• A. Death, incapacity, suspension, surrender of license, revocation, or permanent relocation
• B. Death and relocation only
• C. Death, incapacity, suspension, surrender of license, revocation, or permanent relocation
• D. Surrender of license only

Answer: (C)

Change of status events for prescribers are events that alter a license’s ability to be used to practice. The full list includes death, incapacity, suspension, surrender of the license, revocation, or permanent relocation. Each of these changes the licensed status: death ends licensure; incapacity may trigger board action or a withdrawal from practice; suspension is a temporary restriction; surrender is a voluntary relinquishment; revocation is a permanent loss of license; permanent relocation typically means moving to a different jurisdiction where the license in this state is no longer active, causing a change in status.

Options that include only death and relocation, or only surrender, miss other legitimate change-of-status events, so they don’t capture the complete set.
