(Answer at the end of each chapter)
Multiple choice

2. The u.s. Drug enforcement administration
3. The state board of nursing for each state
4. The state board of pharmacy
2. The benefits to the patient of having an advanced practice registered nurse (aprn) prescriber
include:

basic nursing program and in their aprn program.
2. Nurses care for the patient from a holistic approach and include the patient in decision making
regarding their care.
3. Aprns are less likely to prescribe narcotics and other controlled substances.
4. Aprns are able to prescribe independently in all states, whereas a physician’s assistant needs to
have a physician supervising their practice.

1. Factoring in the cost to the patient of the medication prescribed
2. Always prescribing the newest medication available for the disease process
3. Handing out drug samples to poor patients
4. Prescribing all generic medications to cut costs
4. Criteria for choosing an effective drug for a disorder include:
1. Asking the patient what drug they think would work best for them
2. Consulting nationally recognized guidelines for disease management
