Chapter 01: Prescriptive Authority and Role Implementation: Tradition vs. Change
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which of the following has influenced an emphasis on primary care education in medical schools?
a. Changes in Medicare reimbursement methods recommended in 1992
b. Competition from non-physicians desiring to meet primary care shortages
c. The need for monopolistic control in the marketplace of primary outpatient care
d. The recognition that non-physicians have variable success providing primary care
CORRECT ANSWER: A
The Physician Payment Review Commission in 1992 directly increased financial reimbursement to
clinicians who provide primary care. Coupled with a shortage of primary care providers, this incentive led
medical schools to place greater emphasis on preparing primary care physicians. Competition from non-
physicians increased coincidentally as professionals from other disciplines stepped up to meet the needs.
Non-physicians have had increasing success at providing primary care and have been shown to be safe
and effective.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering (Knowledge) REF: 2
2. Which of the following statements is true about the prescribing practices of physicians?
a. Older physicians tend to prescribe more appropriate medications than younger physicians.
b. Antibiotic medications remain in the top five classifications of medications prescribed.
Fr
c. Most physicians rely on a ―therapeutic armamentarium‖ that consists of less than
an
100 drug preparations per physician.
kl
d. The dominant form of drug information used by primary care physicians continues to be that provided
by pharmaceutical companies.
yn
CORRECT ANSWER: D
e
Even though most physicians claim to place little weight on drug advertisements, pharmaceutical
A
representatives, and patient preference and state that they rely on academic sources for drug information,
a study showed that commercial rather than scientific sources of drug information dominated their drug
pl
information materials. Younger physicians tend to prescribe fewer and more appropriate drugs.
Antibiotics have dropped out of the top five classifications of drugs prescribed. Most physicians have a
u
therapeutic armamentarium of about 144 drugs.
