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


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

prescriptive authority be described?

b. Independent
c. Without limitation tp


d. Limited authority tp




ANS: B tp


The APRN has independent prescriptive authority because the regulating body does not
tp tp tp tp tp tp tp tp tp tp tp


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


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


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

ANS: A tp


Implementation of the Affordable Care Act has increased the number of individuals with

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


increase in the number of patients creates the need for more providers with prescriptive

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