NURS 6234 - Midterm Study Guide/NURS 6234 - Midterm Study Guide. 1. Clinical judgment and decision making as an APRN prescribing medications. Roles and responsibilities of APRN prescribers: ● APRN is responsible for the final decision on which drug to use for a patient ● Autonomy in this role varies from state to state based on the nurse Practice Act of that state ● All states have title protection for NPs. Only Oregon has mandated third party reimbursement parody for NP services ● In all but five states, the control of practice and licensure is within the sole authority of the state's Board of Nursing. These five states have joint control in the Board of Nursing and the Board of Medicine. ● Scope of practice is determined by the individual NP’s license under the nurse Practice Act of the licensing jurisdiction. Employment sites may restrict this legal scope of practice but cannot extend it.
