During what times may licensing inspectors inspect the agency?

• A. During the agency’s hours of operation
• B. Only on weekends
• C. Only with prior consent
• D. Inspect at any time without notice

Answer: (A)

The timing question tests when licensing inspectors are allowed to conduct an agency review. Conducting inspections during the agency’s hours of operation ensures staff are available to provide records, answer questions, and demonstrate procedures, so inspectors can accurately verify compliance while observing normal workflows. Inspecting on weekends would miss typical operations, and requiring prior consent or inspecting at any time without notice could disrupt staff or rely on permissions that aren’t consistently granted, making it harder to reliably assess adherence to regulations.
