A license will not be issued to any facility that has a staff member who ______ the screening process.

• A. has failed
• B. passed
• C. completed
• D. bypassed

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is why a facility’s license depends on the status of staff screening. Screening checks are used to ensure every staff member meets safety and suitability standards before they work with children. If a staff member does not meet those standards, meaning they have failed the screening, the facility cannot be licensed because allowing that person to work would pose a safety risk. The other options don’t fit because passing or completing the screening means the person met the requirements, which would support licensing. Bypassing the screening is a separate violation of the process and isn’t what this rule states about denial based on failure.
