Care
D. The Recognition That Nonphysicians
Have Variable Success Providing Primary

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 Nonphysicians Increased

Shown To Be Safe And Effective.

Armamentarium” That Consists Of Less
Than 100 Drug Preparations Per
Physician.
D. The Dominant Form Of Drug Information
Used By Primary Care Physicians
Continues To Be That Provided By
Pharmaceutical Companies.
Ans: D
Even Though Most Physicians Claim To Place Little Weight On Drug Advertisements,

, Pharmaceutical 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 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 Therapeutic Armamentarium Of About 144 Drugs.

Dif: Cognitive Level: Remembering (Knowledge) Ref: 3

Physicians And Develop Expertise Based
On Evidence- Based Practice.
C. Maintain Collaborative And Supervisorial
Relationships With Physicians Who Will

As Nonphysicians Develop The Roles Associated With Prescriptive Authority, It Will Be
Important To Learn From The Past Experiences Of Physicians And To Develop
Prescribing Practices Based On Evidence-Based Medicine. It Is Hoped That All
Prescribers, Including Physicians And Nurse Practitioners, Will Strive To Do Better Than
In The Past. Nps Should Work Toward Prescriptive Authority And For Practice That Is
Not Supervised By Another Professional. Pharmaceutical Representatives Provide
Information That Carries Some Bias. Academic Sources Are Better.
