NR565 Midterm Study
1.APRN prescribing role
ANS Prescriptive authority for nurse practitioners also reg- ulates prescribing rights beyond medications and controlled substances. These
rights include therapeutic devices and services and are outlined in state
practice laws and regulations and include Durable Medical Equipment (DME) such as wheelchairs, power scooters, hospital beds, portable oxygen equipment, handicap placards, etc. and medical services such as Physical Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT), home health services, etc. Prescriptive authority encompasses more than writing a prescription correctly. It requires adherence to ethical guidelines to ensure that patients are safeguarded from harm. Ethical prescribing starts with being well-informed about medications. Mechanism of action,
efficacy, and safety are important considerations, as are a patient's distinct needs and circumstances, including the number of medications prescribed (Mitchell & Oliphant, 2016). Most patients receiving a prescription are taking other medications, whether prescription or over-
the-counter. Appropriate selection, dosing, and duration of pharmaceutical agents are key to maximizing outcomes and minimizing adverse effects
2.benefits of full practice authority
ANS Nurse practitioners have the autonomy to
evaluate patients, diagnose, order and interpret tests, initiate and manage treat- ments and prescribe medications, including controlled substances without physician oversight
3.promoting positive outcomes through prudent prescribing practices
ANS Ad- ministering medications and prescribing medications are two distinct processes. Prescription writing requires prudent and deliberate decision-making processes to maintain patient safety and reduce liability, including
ANS
*documentation of a provider-patient relationship for the recipient of the prescribed medications
*documentation of a thorough history and physical examination for the recipient *documentation of discussions regarding risk factors, side effects, or therapy options
*documentation of drug monitoring or titration plan, if applicable
*documentation of consultations, if any
avoidance of prescribing medications for self, family, or friends
Rational drug selection requires a logical approach that includes the
formulation of a diagnosis based on clinical reasoning and the selection
and monitoring of the most appropriate pharmacological treatment
