1. An APRN works in a urology clinic under the supervision of a physician who
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
does not restrict the types of medications the APRN is allowed to prescribe. State law
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
does not require the APRN to practice under physician supervision. How would the

APRN‘s prescriptive authority be described?
nm nm nm nm nm
a. Full authority nm
b. Independent
c. Without limitation nm
d. Limited authority nm
ANS: B nm
The APRN has independent prescriptive authority because the regulating body does not
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
require that the APRN work under physician supervision. Full prescriptive authority
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
gives the provider the right to prescribe independently and without limitation. Limited

health care coverage, and thus the number who have access to health care services. The
nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm nm
