ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


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

ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


authority be described?

ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff


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


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