Study Notes

APRN Prescriptive Authority

Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) can have different levels of prescriptive authority.
Independent prescriptive authority means an APRN can prescribe medications without supervision from a physician.
This is contrasted with limited authority, where restrictions apply to the types of medications that can be prescribed.
Full authority implies complete freedom to prescribe medication without any limitations.
In this scenario, the APRN's prescriptive authority is described as independent because no physician supervision is mandated by the state, allowing the APRN to prescribe medications independently.
