During a suspension, what duties may licensees continue to perform?

In the context of a suspension of a veterinary technician’s license, the correct response highlights that licensees may continue to perform administrative duties. Even when a license is suspended, administrative tasks typically do not require a veterinary technician's active license, as these functions are more related to the operational aspects of the practice rather than direct patient care.

Administrative duties can include scheduling appointments, managing medical records, billing, and other clerical responsibilities that do not involve clinical judgment or the direct management of animal care. This provides an essential continuity of support for the veterinary practice and ensures that logistical operations can continue smoothly, despite the suspension of certain clinical privileges.

In contrast, functions like patient examinations, clinical surgeries, and client consultations inherently involve direct patient interaction and the application of veterinary knowledge and skills, which necessitate an active and valid license to perform legally.
