UNIT I: Introduction Chapter 1: Prescriptive Authority. 1. A newly licensed family nurse practitioner is relocating from one U.S. state to another. She asks what primarily determines her legal authority to prescribe medications in the new state. Which factor is most determinative? A. National certification body recommendations B. State nurse practice act and related statutes C. Federal Drug Enforcement Administration policies D.
