y y y y y y y y y y y y




medicalschools?
y




a. ChangesinMedicarereimbursement y y y

ANS: A
The Physician Payment Review Commission in 1992 directly increased financial
y y y y y y y y y




reimbursement to clinicians who provide primary care. Coupled with a shortage of primary
y y y y y y y y y y y y y




care providers, this incentive led medical schools to place greater emphasis onpreparing
y y y y y y y y y y y y




primary care physicians. Competition from nonphysicians increased coincidentally as
y y y y y y y y y




professionals from other disciplines stepped up to meet the needs. Nonphysicians have had
y y y y y y y y y y y y y




increasing success at providing primary care and have beenshown to be safe and effective.

2. Which of the following statements is true about the prescribing practices of physicians?
y y y y y y y y y y y y




a. Older physicians tend to prescribe more y y y y y




appropriate medications than younger
y y y y




physicians.
y




b. Antibioticmedicationsremainin thetop y y y y y

y




c. Most physicians rely on a “therapeutic y y y y y




armamentarium” that consists of less
y y y y y




than 100 drug preparations per physician. y y y y y




d. The dominant form of drug information y y y y y




used by primary care physicians
y y y y y




continuesto be that provided by

pharmaceutical representatives, and patient preference and state that they rely on academic
y y y y y y y y y y y




ysources for drug information, a study showed that commercial rather than scientific sources
y y y y y y y y y y y y




yof drug information dominated their drug information materials. Younger physicians tend to
y y y y y y y y y y y




yprescribe fewer and more appropriate drugs.Antibiotics have dropped out of the top five
y y y y y y y y y y y y




yclassifications of drugs prescribed. Most physicians have a therapeutic armamentarium of
y y y y y y y y y y




yabout 144 drugs.

3. As primary care nurse practitioners (NPs) continue to develop their role as
y y y y y y y y y y y




prescribers ofmedications, it will be important to:
y y y y y y y




a. attain the same level of expertise y y y y y




as physicians who currently
prescribe medications.
y y




b. learn from the experiences of physicians y y y y y




and develop expertise based on evidence-
y y y y y y




based practice. y




c. maintain collaborative and supervisorial y y y




relationships with physicians who will
y y y y y




oversee prescribing practices.
y y y




d. developrelationshipswithpharmaceutical y y y




representatives to learn about new
y y y y y




medications as they are developed.
y y y y y




ANS: B
As nonphysicians develop the roles associated with prescriptive authority, it will be
y y y y y y y y y y y




important to learn from the past experiences of physicians and to develop prescribing
y y y y y y y y y y y y y




practices based on evidence-based medicine. It is hoped that all prescribers, including
y y y y y y y y y y y y




physicians and nurse practitioners, will strive to do better than in the past. NPs should
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y




work toward prescriptive authority and for practice that is not supervised by another
y y y y y y y y y y y y y




professional. Pharmaceutical representatives provide information that carries some
y y y y y y y y




bias.Academic sources are better.
