Chapter 1: Prescriptive Authority

Test Bank

Multiple Choice

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

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

APRN to practice under physician supervision. How would the APRN’s prescriptive authority

be described?

a. Full authority

b. Independent

c. Without limitation

d. Limited authority

ANS: B

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

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

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

on the types of drugs that can be prescribed.DIF: Cognitive Level: ComprehensionREF: p. 1TOP:

Nursing Process: I MSC: NCLEX Client Needs Category: Physiologic Integrity: Pharmacologic

and Parenteral Therapies

2. Which factors increase the need for APRNs to have full prescriptive authority?

a. More patients will have access to health care.

b. Enrollment in medical schools is predicted to decrease.

c. Physician’s assistants are being utilized less often.

d. APRN education is more complex than education for physicians.

ANS: A

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 increase in the

number of patients createsthe need for more providers with prescriptive authority. APRNs can fill

this practice gap.DIF: Cognitive Level: ComprehensionREF: p. 2TOP: Nursing Process:

Implementation MSC: NCLEX Client Needs Category: Physiologic Integrity: Pharmacologic and

Parenteral Therapies

3. Which factors could be attributed to limited prescriptive authority for APRNs?
