u Choice
1. An APRN works in a urology clinic under the supervision of a physician who
u u u u u u u u u u u u u




does not restrict the types of medications the APRN is allowed to prescribe. State law
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




does not require the APRN to practice under physician supervision. How would the
u u u u u u u u u u u u u




APRN‘s prescriptive authority be described? u u u u




a. Full authority u




b. Independent
c. Without limitation u




d. Limited authority u




ANS: B u




The APRN has independent prescriptive authority because the regulating body does not require that
u u u u u u u u u u u u u




uthe APRN work under physician supervision. Full prescriptive authority gives the
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




provider the right to prescribe independently and without limitation. Limited authority places
u u u u u u u u u u u u




restrictions on the types of drugs that can be prescribed .DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension

c. Physician‘s assistants are being utilized less often. u u u u u u

patients creates the need for more providers with prescriptive authority. APRNs can fill this
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




upractice gap. DIF: Cognitive Level: Comprehension REF: u u u u u u
