1. An APRN works in a urology clinic under the supervision of a physician who does not
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


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


require the APRN to practice under physician supervision. How would the APRN‘s
la la la la la la la la la la la la


prescriptive authoritybe described?
la la la la




a. Full authority la


b. Independent
c. Without limitation la


d. Limited authority la




CORRECT RESPONSE:- B la l a


Reasoning :->>> The APRN has independent prescriptive authority because the regulating
la la la la la la la la la la


body does not require that the APRN work under physician supervision. Full prescriptive
la la la la la la la la la la la la la


authority gives the provider the right to prescribe independently and without limitation.
la la la la la la la la la la la la


Limited authority places restrictions on the types of hospital medications that can be
la la la la la la la la la la la la la


prescribed.DIF: Cognitive Level: ComprehensionREF: p. 1TOP: Nursing Process: I MSC:

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

la la la la la la la la




CORRECT RESPONSE:- A la l a


Reasoning :->>> Implementation of the Affordable Care Act has increased the number of
la la la la la la la la la la la la


individuals with health care coverage, and thus the number who have access to health care
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


services. The increase in the number of clients creates the need for more providers with
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la


prescriptive authority. APRNs can fill this practice gap.DIF: Cognitive Level:
