correct answer and a detailed rationale explaining why the correct option is
appropriate and why the remaining options are less suitable.

Chapter 1: Prescriptive Authority Test Bank
Multiple Choice
1. An APRN works in a urology clinic under the supervision of a physician who does not
restrict the types of medications the APRN is allowed to prescribe. State law does not require the
APRN to practice under physician supervision. How would the APRN‘s prescriptive authority be
described?
a. Full authority
b. Independent
c. Without limitation
d. Limited authority
ANS: B
The APRN has independent prescriptive authority because the regulating body does not require
that the APRN work under physician supervision. Full prescriptive authority gives the provider
the right to prescribe independently and without limitation. Limited authority places restrictions
on the types of drugs that can be prescribed .DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: p.
1TOP: Nursing Process: I MSC: NCLEX Client Needs Category: Physiologic Integrity:
Pharmacologic and Parenteral Therapies
2. Which factors increase the need for APRNs to have full prescriptive authority?
a. More patients will have access to health care.
b. Enrollment in medical schools is predicted to decrease.
c. Physician‘s assistants are being utilized less often.
d. APRN education is more complex than education for physicians.
ANS: A
Implementation of the Affordable Care Act has increased the number of individuals with health
care coverage, and thus the number who have access to health care services. The increase in the
number of patients creates the need for more providers with prescriptive authority. APRNs can
fill this practice gap. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: p. 2TOP: Nursing Process:
