Chapter 1.The Role of the Nurse Practitioner as PrescriberMultiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
1. Nurse practitioner prescriptive authority is regulated by:
The National Council of State Boards of Nursing
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration
The State Board of Nursing for each state
The State Board of Pharmacy
2. The benefits to the patient of having an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) prescriber include:
Nurses know more about Pharmacology than other prescribers because they take it both
in their basic nursing program and in their APRN program.
Nurses care for the patient from a holistic approach and include the patient in
decision making regarding their care.
APRNs are less likely to prescribe narcotics and other controlled substances.
APRNs are able to prescribe independently in all states, whereas a physician’s
assistant needs to have a physician supervising their practice.
3. Clinical judgment in prescribing includes:
Factoring in the cost to the patient of the medication prescribed
Always prescribing the newest medication available for the disease process
Handing out drug samples to poor patients
Prescribing all generic medications to cut costs
4. Criteria for choosing an effective drug for a disorder include:
Asking the patient what drug they think would work best for them
Consulting nationally recognized guidelines for disease management
Prescribing medications that are available as samples before writing a prescription
Following U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration guidelines for prescribing
5. Nurse practitioner practice may thrive under health-care reform because of:
The demonstrated ability of nurse practitioners to control costs and improve patient
outcomes
The fact that nurse practitioners will be able to practice independently
The fact that nurse practitioners will have full reimbursement under health- care
reform
The ability to shift accountability for Medicaid to the state level

Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
1. A patient’s nutritional intake and laboratory results reflect hypoalbuminemia. This is critical to prescribing
because:
Distribution of drugs to target tissue may be affected.
The solubility of the drug will not match the site of absorption.
There will be less free drug available to generate an effect.
Drugs bound to albumin are readily excreted by the kidneys.
2. Drugs that have a significant first-pass effect:
Must be given by the enteral (oral) route only
Bypass the hepatic circulation
Are rapidly metabolized by the liver and may have little if any desired action
Are converted by the liver to more active and fat-soluble forms
3. The route of excretion of a volatile drug will likely be the:
Kidneys
Lungs
Bile and feces
Skin
4. Medroxyprogesterone (Depo Provera) is prescribed intramuscularly (IM) to create a storage reservoir
of the drug. Storage reservoirs:
Assure that the drug will reach its intended target tissue
Are the reason for giving loading doses
Increase the length of time a drug is available and active
Are most common in collagen tissues
5. The NP chooses to give cephalexin every 8 hours based on knowledge of the drug’s:
Propensity to go to the target receptor
Biological half-life
Pharmacodynamics
Safety and side effects
6. Azithromycin dosing requires that the first day’s dosage be twice those of the other 4 days of the
prescription. This is considered a loading dose. A loading dose:
Rapidly achieves drug levels in the therapeutic range
Requires four- to five-half-lives to attain
Is influenced by renal function
Is directly related to the drug circulating to the target tissues
7. The point in time on the drug concentration curve that indicates the first sign of a therapeutic effect is the:
Minimum adverse effect level
Peak of action
