Multiple Choice ss




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


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


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


prescriptive authority be described?

ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


require that the APRN work under physician supervision. Full prescriptive authority gives the
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss


provider the right to prescribe independently and without limitation. Limited authority places

restrictions on the types of drugs that can be prescribed.DIF: Cognitive Level:

health care coverage, and thus the number who have access to health care services. The

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