1. Which of the following has influenced an emphasis on primary care education in medical
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
Il` schools?
a. Changes in Medicare reimbursement Il` Il` Il` Il`
methods recommended in 1992 Il` Il` Il`
b. Competition from nonphysicians desiring Il` Il` Il` Il`
to meet primary care shortages
Il` Il` Il` Il`

marketplace of primary outpatient care Il` Il` Il` Il`
d. The recognition that nonphysicians have
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
variable success providing primary care Il` Il` Il` Il`
ANS: A Il`
The Physician Payment Review Commission in 1992 directly increased financial
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
reimbursement to clinicians who provide primary care. Coupled with a shortage of
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
primary care providers, this incentive led medical schools to place greater emphasis on
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
preparing primary care physicians. Competition from nonphysicians increased
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
coincidentally as professionals from other disciplines stepped up to meet the needs.
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
Nonphysicians have had increasing success at providing primary care and have been
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
shown to be safe and effective.

2. Which of the following statements is true about the prescribing practices of physicians?
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
a. Older physicians tend to prescribe more Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
appropriate medications than younger Il` Il` Il`
physicians.
Il`
b. Antibiotic medications remain in the top Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
five classifications of medications
Il` Il` Il`
prescribed.
Il`
c. Most physicians rely on a “therapeutic Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
armamentarium” that consists of less than Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
100 drug preparations per physician.

d. The dominant form of drug information
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
used by primary care physicians continues Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
to be that provided by pharmaceutical
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
companies.

Even though most physicians claim to place little weight on drug advertisements,
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
pharmaceutical representatives, and patient preference and state that they rely on
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`

Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`

Younger physicians tend to prescribe fewer and more appropriate drugs. Antibiotics have
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
dropped out of the top five classifications of drugs prescribed. Most physicians have a
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
therapeutic armamentarium of about 144 drugs.

3. As primary care nurse practitioners (NPs) continue to develop their role as prescribers of
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
Il` medications, it will be important to: Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
a. attain the same level of expertise as Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
physicians who currently prescribe Il` Il` Il`
medications.
Il`
b. learn from the experiences of physicians Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
and develop expertise based on Il` Il` Il` Il`
evidencebased practice.
Il` Il`
c. maintain collaborative and supervisorial Il` Il` Il` Il`
relationships with physicians who will Il` Il` Il` Il`
oversee prescribing practices.
Il` Il` Il`
d. develop relationships with pharmaceutical Il` Il` Il`
representatives to learn about new Il` Il` Il` Il`
medications as they are developed.

ANS: B Il`
As nonphysicians develop the roles associated with prescriptive authority, it will be
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
important to learn from the past experiences of physicians and to develop prescribing
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
practices based on evidence-based medicine. It is hoped that all prescribers, including
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
physicians and nurse practitioners, will strive to do better than in the past. NPs should
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
work toward prescriptive authority and for practice that is not supervised by another
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
professional. Pharmaceutical representatives provide information that carries some bias.
Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il` Il`
