CHAPTER 1 — The Role of the Nurse Practitioner as Prescriber
═══════════════════════════════════
QUESTION 1 Which of the following best describes the primary role of the nurse
practitioner (NP) as a prescriber?
A. To prescribe medications only under the direct supervision of a physician
B. To independently assess, diagnose, and manage patient conditions including
prescribing medications
C. To serve as a liaison between the pharmacist and the physician
D. To administer medications prescribed by a physician
E. To consult on medication management without prescriptive authority
CORRECT ANSWER: B. To independently assess, diagnose, and manage
patient conditions including prescribing medications
, RATIONALE: The NP role as a prescriber encompasses full assessment,
diagnosis, and therapeutic management of patient conditions including prescribing,
which is a hallmark of advanced practice nursing. The scope of this practice varies by
state but is increasingly moving toward full practice authority.
QUESTION 2 A nurse practitioner is reviewing prescribing laws in her state. Which
regulatory body primarily governs NP prescriptive authority at the state level?
A. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)
B. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
C. The State Board of Nursing
D. The American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP)
E. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)
CORRECT ANSWER: C. The State Board of Nursing
RATIONALE: Prescriptive authority for nurse practitioners is governed at the state
level by the State Board of Nursing (and in some states jointly with the Board of
Medicine). The DEA regulates controlled substances at a federal level, and the FDA
regulates drug approval, but neither governs NP scope of practice.
QUESTION 3 Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding full practice
authority for nurse practitioners?
A. All 50 states grant NPs full practice authority
B. Full practice authority means NPs can practice and prescribe independently
without physician oversight
C. Full practice authority only applies to NPs in hospital settings
D. Full practice authority prohibits NPs from prescribing Schedule II controlled
substances
E. Full practice authority is federally mandated for all NPs
CORRECT ANSWER: B. Full practice authority means NPs can practice and
prescribe independently without physician oversight
