1. An APRN works in a urology clinic under the supervision of a physician who does not restrict
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
the types of medications the APRN is allowed to prescribe. State law does not require the
p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p
APRN to practice under physician supervision. How would the APRN‘s prescriptive authority
p p p p p p p p p p p p
be described?
p p
a. Full authority p
b. Independent
c. Without limitation p
d. Limited authority p
ANS: B p
The APRN has independent prescriptive authority because the regulating body does not require
p p p p p p p p p p p p
that the APRN work under physician supervision. Full prescriptive authority gives the provider
p p p p p p p p p p p p p
the right to prescribe independently and without limitation. Limited authority places restrictions
p p p p p p p p p p p p
on the types of drugs that can be prescribed.DIF: Cognitive Level: ComprehensionREF: p. 1TOP:
