increase your awareness of the statutes and rules that govern the practice of medicine in Arizona. When you have read through the material, please sign the

Medical Practice Act Training & Questionnaire
CASE STUDIES (Multiple Choice)
This section illustrates common violations of the MPA by using case scenarios. Each scenario is followed by a multiple-choice question and the answer.
1. Sexual Conduct
Scenario: You and a patient develop mutual feelings for each other during the course of treatment. You begin dating the patient and mutually agree to begin a
sexual relationship. Should you continue to medically treat the patient?
A. Yes. The treatment began before a sexual relationship was developed. Therefore, it is appropriate to continue treating the patient as you were before.
B. Yes. You can maintain a boundary between your personal feelings for the patient and your professional practice.
C. No. The physician-patient relationship must be terminated six months before engaging in sexual conduct.
D. No. A physician should never establish a sexual relationship with a current or former patient.
Answer: C. No. The physician-patient relationship must be terminated six months before engaging in sexual conduct.
A.R.S. 32-1401(27)(z) states that it is unprofessional conduct to engage in sexual conduct with a current patient or with a former patient within six months
after the last medical consultation unless the patient was the licensee's spouse at the time of the contact or, immediately preceding the physician-patient
relationship, was in a dating or engagement relationship with the licensee.
2. Controlled Substances
Scenario: You are experiencing back pain after a weekend spent moving into a new home. You know the appropriate dose of Oxycodone to relieve your pain.
Instead of requesting an appointment with your primary care physician you call in a prescription to the pharmacy for yourself. Are your actions appropriate?
A. No. Regardless of how seemingly obvious the cause of the pain and type of controlled substance needed, it is never appropriate for a physician to
self-prescribe a controlled substance.
B. No. There are alternative over the counter drugs that can provide the same effect.
C. Yes. You had the same back pain in the past and you were previously prescribed the same medication.
D. Yes. You are a licensed physician. You know exactly what medications you need to feel better.
Answer: A. No. Regardless of how seemingly obvious the illness and type of controlled substance needed, it is never appropriate for a physician to self-
prescribe a controlled substance.
A.R.S. 32-1401(27)(g) states that it is unprofessional conduct to use controlled substances except if prescribed by another physician for use
during a prescribed course of treatment.
T:\Licensing\New License Applications and forms\New License Application\Revised 2018\IMLCC Application Supplemental Form 03.18.2018
3. Professional Connection
Scenario: Your friend "Bob" wants to open a laser clinic and perform varicose vein removal. Bob is not a licensed doctor in Arizona, but he holds a medical
license in New Mexico. You are confident that Bob has the education and training to safely perform varicose vein removal, even though it is considered to be
the practice of medicine in Arizona. You decide to help Bob out and let him operate his laser clinic under your name. Is this appropriate?
A. Yes. Even though Bob is not licensed in Arizona, he is a doctor and you know he will do a good job.
B. Yes. The clinic operates under your name and you know Bob will call you with any problems.
C. No. Varicose vein removal is considered to be the practice of medicine and Bob is not licensed to practice medicine in Arizona.
D. No. The state where Bob is licensed may have different regulations for operating a laser clinic than Arizona and you can't be sure if Bob's clinic will
meet Arizona regulations.
Answer: C. No. Varicose vein removal is considered to be the practice of medicine and Bob is not licensed to perform medicine in Arizona.
A.R.S. 32-1401(27)(cc) states that it is unprofessional conduct to maintain a professional connection with or lend one's name to enhance or continue the
activities of an illegal practitioner of medicine.
4. False or Fraudulent Statements
Scenario: You are applying for privileges at a hospital and one of the questions asked of you is whether your license has ever been revoked or suspended.
Knowing that the hospital will likely deny you privileges if you answer affirmatively, you opt to knowingly withhold the fact that your license was previously
suspended over 15 years ago. Are your actions justified?
A. Yes. Because your suspension was so long ago, it is likely the hospital will never find out about it.
B. Yes. Ever since you got your license back, you have been a model physician and you have obeyed all laws.
C. No. The hospital will eventually find out and report you to the Board, resulting in more trouble.
D. No. It is never okay to make a false statement when applying for hospital privileges.
Answer: D. No. It is never okay to make a false statement when applying for hospital privileges.
A.R.S. 32-1401(27)(t) states that it is unprofessional conduct to knowingly make any false or fraudulent statement, written or oral, in connection with the
practice of medicine or if applying for privileges or renewing an application for privileges at a health care institution.
5. Financial Interest
Scenario: You are a pain specialist and many of the patients you see benefit from a combination of pain medication and other forms of therapy, such as
physical therapy. In addition to your pain clinic, you are also part owner of an outpatient physical therapy clinic. If you prescribe physical therapy at the clinic
where you are part owner, should you inform the patients that you have a direct financial interest in the clinic?
A. No. Your patients will receive good care at the physical therapy clinic and do not need to know.
B. No. The amount of money you receive from your ownership interest in the clinic is not enough to require you to inform your patients.
C. Yes. You should inform patients of your financial interest and let them know they can receive therapy elsewhere.
D. Yes. You should inform patients of your financial interest, but stress that they will receive the best therapy at your clinic.
Answer: C. Yes. You should inform patients of your financial interest and let them know they can receive therapy elsewhere.
A.R.S. 32-1401(27)(ff) states that it is unprofessional conduct to knowingly fail to disclose to a patient on a form that is prescribed by the board and that is
dated and signed by the patient or guardian acknowledging that the patient or guardian has read and understands that the doctor has a direct financial
interest in a separate diagnostic or treatment agency or in non-routine goods or services that the patient is being prescribed and if the prescribed treatment,
goods or services are available on a competitive basis. This subdivision does not apply to a referral by one doctor of medicine to another doctor of medicine
within a group of doctors of medicine practicing together. A "Notice To Patients" form can be downloaded off the Board's website.

14. If my patient refuses to notify her spouse that she is HIV positive, I can report the name of her spouse to the Arizona Department of Health Services.
(True: A.R.S. 32-1457 states that it is not an act of unprofessional conduct for a doctor to report to the department of health services the name of a
patient's spouse or sex partner or a person with whom the patient has shared hypodermic needles or syringes if the doctor knows that the patient
has contacted or tests positive for the human immunodeficiency virus and that the patient has not or will not notify these people and refer them to
testing.)
15. The Arizona Medical Board will only investigate a malpractice complaint if there was a settlement over one million dollars.
