, Chapter 1. The Role of the Nurse Practitioner
Q1.
Prescriptive authority for Nurse Practitioners (NPs) in the United States is primarily regulated by:
a. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
b. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN)
c. Each state’s Board of Nursing
d. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
Answer: c. Each state’s Board of Nursing
Rationale: Prescriptive authority is not uniform nationwide; it is regulated at the state level. Some states allow full
independent prescribing, while others require collaborative agreements. DEA regulates controlled substances but not
general prescribing authority.
Q2.
An NP understands that full practice authority means:
a. Independent prescribing of controlled substances only
b. Autonomy in diagnosing, prescribing, and managing patient care without physician oversight
c. The ability to prescribe only within hospital systems
d. A national standardized prescribing license
Answer: b. Autonomy in diagnosing, prescribing, and managing patient care without physician oversight
Rationale: Full practice authority allows NPs to evaluate, diagnose, interpret tests, initiate treatments, and prescribe
without mandated physician supervision.
Q3.
Which of the following is a major advantage of NP prescribing compared to physician prescribing?
a. NPs always prescribe fewer narcotics
b. NPs always prescribe cheaper medications
c. NPs integrate holistic, patient-centered approaches into prescribing
d. NPs rely more heavily on pharmaceutical samples
Answer: c. NPs integrate holistic, patient-centered approaches into prescribing
Rationale: NPs are trained in a holistic model, emphasizing patient involvement, education, and long-term wellness
when making prescribing decisions.
