1. An APRN works in a urology clinic under the supervision of a physician who does not
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



restrict the types of medications the APRN is allowed to prescribe. State law does not
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



require the APRN to practice under physician supervision. How would the APRN‘s
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



prescriptive authoritybe described?
n1 n1 n1 n1




a. Full authority n1



b. Independent
c. Without limitation n1



d. Limited authority n1




CORRECT RESPONSE:- B n1 n 1



Reasoning :->>> The APRN has independent prescriptive authority because the regulating
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



body does not require that the APRN work under physician supervision. Full prescriptive
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



authority gives the provider the right to prescribe independently and without limitation.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



Limited authority places restrictions on the types of hospital medications that can be
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



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

d. APRN education is more complex than education for physicians.
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1




CORRECT RESPONSE:- A n1 n 1



Reasoning :->>> Implementation of the Affordable Care Act has increased the number of
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



individuals with health care coverage, and thus the number who have access to health care
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



services. The increase in the number of clients creates the need for more providers with
n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1 n1



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