1. An APRN works in a urology clinic under the supervision of a physician who do
S S S S S S S S S S S S S S




es not restrict the types of medications the APRN is allowed to prescribe. State l
S S S S S S S S S S S S S S




aw does not require the APRNto practice under physician supervision. How wo
S S S S S S S S S S S S




uld the APRN’s prescriptive authority be described?
S S S S S S

b. Independent
c. Without limitation S




d. Limited authority S

S S S S S S S S S S S S




ll prescriptive authority gives the provider the right to prescribe independently a
S S S S S S S S S S S




nd without limitation. Limited authority places restrictions on the types of drugs

ority?
