Course Summary
Many states are moving toward making changes to existing laws regulating the scope of practice for Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners (ARNPs) to include independent prescribing authority. Independent prescribing authority refers to the ability to prescribe controlled medications without collaboration with a physician. This is a key component of APRN scope of practice, and an important part of the APRN Consensus Model. Prescription of controlled substances represents significant risks, and understanding these risks is critical in order to provide safe and effective patient care. A primary concern centers on prescription opioid use disorder, affecting patients, health care providers, and the community at large.
