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

8. A patient presents with delirium tremens requiring Ativan administration. The provider of care
is not in the facility. Which action by the nurse is most appropriate?

a. Obtain a telephone order.
b. Contact the on-call hospitalist.
c. Obtain an order from the charge nurse.
d. Wait for a written Ativan order.

provide a telephone order. Contacting the on-call hospitalist or waiting for a written order would
take more time than available for a patient with high seizure risk. Writing an order is outside the
scope of practice for the charge nurse.DIF: Cognitive Level: ApplicationREF: p. 7TOP: Nursing
