1. What is the scope of practice for Full Practice NPs?
A) Full NPs can diagnose and treat but cannot prescribe medications
B) Full NPs can diagnose, treat, and prescribe medication
independently
C) Full NPs require physician oversight for all clinical decisions
D) Full NPs can only practice in hospital settings
CORRECT ANSWER: B – Full NPs can diagnose, treat, and
prescribe medication independently. Full practice authority means
NPs can evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret diagnostic
tests, and initiate and manage treatments—including prescribing
,medications—under the exclusive licensure authority of the state
board of nursing, without physician oversight.
Rationale: The American Association of Nurse Practitioners
(AANP) defines full practice authority as state licensure that
allows NPs to practice to the full extent of their education and
training. In full practice states, NPs have independent authority to
diagnose, treat, and prescribe medications without physician
collaboration or supervision requirements.
2. Which of the following describes Reduced Scope NPs?
A) Reduced Scope NPs can diagnose, treat, and prescribe
independently
B) Reduced Scope NPs can diagnose and treat but require physician
oversight to prescribe medications
C) Reduced Scope NPs cannot diagnose or treat patients
D) Reduced Scope NPs require physician oversight for all aspects of
care
,CORRECT ANSWER: B – Reduced Scope NPs can diagnose and
treat but require physician oversight (collaborative agreement) to
prescribe medications.
Rationale: Reduced practice authority states require NPs to have a
collaborative agreement with a physician in order to provide
patient care, or they limit the setting of one or more elements of
NP practice. Under reduced scope, NPs maintain the ability to
diagnose and treat but face restrictions on prescribing authority.
3. What is the scope of practice for Restricted NPs?
A) Restricted NPs practice independently without any oversight
B) Restricted NPs require physician oversight to treat, diagnose, and
prescribe medications
C) Restricted NPs can prescribe but cannot diagnose
D) Restricted NPs can only treat acute conditions
CORRECT ANSWER: B – Restricted NPs require physician
oversight to treat, diagnose, and prescribe medications.
, Rationale: Restricted practice authority states require career-long
physician supervision, delegation, or team-management for NP
practice. In these states, NPs cannot diagnose, treat, or prescribe
medications without physician involvement, significantly limiting
their ability to practice independently.
4. Which federal law allows qualified FNPs to prescribe
buprenorphine for opioid use disorder as of 2023?
A) Controlled Substances Act
B) Ryan Haight Act
C) SUPPORT Act (waiver elimination as of 2023)
D) HIPAA Privacy Rule
CORRECT ANSWER: C – The SUPPORT Act eliminated the
DATA-Waiver (X-waiver) requirement as of 2023, allowing all
qualified practitioners with a standard DEA registration to prescribe
buprenorphine for opioid use disorder.
