Q1. Which of the following is an aspect that supports APRN provision
for full prescriptive authority? [Multiple Choice]
A) Obtain a telephone order.
B) Contact a different pharmacy.
C) Pharmacists have firsthand knowledge of the facility formulary.
D) Clinical education includes prescription of medications and disease
processes.
Answer: Clinical education includes prescription of medications and disease
processes.
Explanation: One argument for full APRN prescriptive authority is that APRN clinical
education explicitly includes medication prescription and disease processes,
demonstrating training in this area. The distractors are true statements in the source but
relate to other topics: pharmacist formulary knowledge is about pharmacy collaboration,
obtaining a telephone order is a nursing action when a provider is absent, and contacting
a different pharmacy addresses medication access — none of these are core reasons
supporting APRN prescriptive authority.

,Q2. Which factor supports giving APRNs full prescriptive authority?
[Multiple Choice]
A) Licensure ensures compliance with health care and safety standards.
B) Pharmacists have additional information on drug interactions.
C) More patients will have access to health care.
D) Clinical education includes prescription of medications and disease
processes.
Answer: More patients will have access to health care.
Explanation: Full prescriptive authority is argued for when it increases access to care;
allowing APRNs to prescribe directly can increase the number of clinicians able to treat
patients. The distractors are true statements from the source about other safeguards or
collaborations: clinical education and licensure support safe practice but are not the
access rationale, and pharmacists' knowledge of interactions is a separate benefit of
collaboration rather than the primary access argument.
Q3. Which factor could be attributed to limited prescriptive authority
for APRNs? [Multiple Choice]
A) More patients will have access to health care.
B) Licensure ensures compliance with health care and safety standards.
C) Pharmacists have firsthand knowledge of the facility formulary.
D) Inaccessibility of patient care
Answer: Inaccessibility of patient care
Explanation: Limited prescriptive authority can lead to reduced access, so 'inaccessibility
of patient care' is a direct consequence. The other choices are either the opposite effect
(increased access), a regulatory safeguard (licensure) that supports safe practice, or a
pharmacist capability unrelated to the concept of limited prescriptive authority.
Q4. A patient with chronic pain calls requesting an oxycontin refill.
What is the most appropriate action? [Multiple Choice]
A) Contact a different pharmacy.
3
, B) Obtain a telephone order for Ativan.
C) Give an immediate refill by phone.
D) Schedule an appointment with the patient.
Answer: Schedule an appointment with the patient.
Explanation: For chronic opioid prescriptions, current evaluation is important before
authorizing refills; scheduling an appointment allows assessment of pain control,
function, and safety. An immediate phone refill risks inappropriate continuation without
assessment. The other options are unrelated processes (telephone orders for urgent
meds, switching pharmacies for access).
Q5. Before prescribing medications to treat COPD for a patient already
taking three antihypertensives, what should the clinician do first?
[Multiple Choice]
A) Ensure periodic laboratory testing is completed.
B) Give an immediate refill by phone.
C) Obtain a complete medication history.
D) Auscultate lung sounds and obtain vital signs.
Answer: Obtain a complete medication history.
Explanation: When adding medications for COPD to a patient already on multiple drugs,
obtaining a complete medication history helps identify interactions, duplications, and
contraindications. Immediate refills, lung exam, and labs may be relevant in other
contexts, but the key first step before prescribing is to know the patient's full current
regimen.
Q6. (Diagram above) Using the diagram, explain how an inducing
agent (Drug Y) can change Drug X’s plasma level and why that may
lead to a need for a higher dose of Drug X. [Short Answer]
Answer: Drug Y induces metabolic or transport pathways that increase the
removal of Drug X, which lowers Drug X’s plasma concentration and reduces
its effect; therefore, the patient may require a higher dose of Drug X to
restore therapeutic levels.
