physician oversight. How should the APRN's prescribing authority be classified?
A. Complete authority
B. Independent authority
C. Unrestricted authority
D. Restricted authority
Answer: B
Explanation: The APRN is not legally required to be supervised by a physician, which
constitutes independent prescriptive authority. "Complete" and "unrestricted" are not
standard legal terms.
Q2. The role of the advanced practice nurse (APRN) in pharmacotherapeutics includes:
A. Prescribing medications only under direct physician supervision
B. Independently prescribing medications within their scope of practice as defined by state
law
C. Never prescribing controlled substances
D. Dispensing medications from a pharmacy
, Answer: B
Explanation: APRN prescriptive authority varies by state. Some states grant full
independent prescriptive authority; others require collaborative agreements with
physicians.
Q3. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulates:
A. Overthecounter medications
B. Controlled substances (Schedule I–V)
C. Herbal supplements
D. Medical devices
Answer: B
Explanation: The DEA enforces the Controlled Substances Act. APRNs must obtain a DEA
registration number to prescribe controlled substances (Schedule II–V). Schedule I drugs
have no accepted medical use and cannot be prescribed.
Q4. A Schedule II controlled substance has which characteristic?
A. High potential for abuse with no accepted medical use
B. High potential for abuse with currently accepted medical use
