Final answer:
An applicant may be ineligible for licensure in certain situations if they have committed a misdemeanor. Option 1,4 are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
An applicant may be ineligible for licensure in certain situations if they have committed a misdemeanor. The following situations can make an applicant ineligible for licensure:
When the misdemeanor is related to the profession for which licensure is sought.
When the misdemeanor is a felony.
When the misdemeanor is not related to the profession for which licensure is sought but is considered a serious offense rather than a petty offense.
Therefore, both situations 1 and 4 can make an applicant ineligible.
A misdemeanor could make an applicant ineligible for licensure primarily in the situation where the misdemeanor is related to the profession for which licensure is sought. This is because a misdemeanor that has a direct connection to the duties and responsibilities of the profession may indicate a risk to the public or to the ethical standards of the profession.
On the other hand, if the misdemeanor is unrelated to the profession, a petty offense, or even if the charge is a felony, this does not automatically make an individual ineligible. Each licensing authority has its own criteria and will consider the specific circumstances of the misdemeanor, the time that has elapsed since the offense, and evidence of rehabilitation.
The situations include when the misdemeanor is related to the profession, a felony, or a serious offense rather than a petty offense.
