Role of Advanced Practice Nursing
According to the Florida Board of Nursing, advanced registered nurse practitioners (ARNPs) can prescribe patients with controlled substances that are listed in the schedule II, III and IV which are well described in s. 893.03 Florida Statutes. Before doing so, they are to participate in three-hour training sessions which would help them implement the right strategies (Florida Board of Nursing, 2016). For APRNs to provide the right prescriptions to their patients they are necessitate to analyze and describe patient’s health problems. They are also required to fill their patients with enough knowledge regarding the drugs side effects and how they are supposed to take them (Pigman et al., 2016). As well-known medical practitioners should ensure that after a patient receives a drug, its use is well achieved. As stated by the state requirements an APRN should also do the same to make sure that the drug given achieves the goal it it supposed to achieve (Kooienga and Wilkinson, 2017).
There are numerous barriers that inhibit APRN practitioners from carrying out their prescriptions roles as required. First, there are various programs that may be directed towards the deliverance of health care services that are of high quality. But the problem comes in when the leaders of these programs fail to equip APRNs with advanced skills for dealing with them. Lack of enough knowledge and negative perceptions towards the same may inhibit them from performing their prescription roles. Secondly, state license restrictions may limit APRNs from fully participating in their practices as required because most boards only allow they to take part in one nursing practice role depending on the concerted agreement (Reynolds et al., 2021).
When prescribing medication to patients ARNPs have a great role and responsibility. Their role depends on state laws which are associated with the prescriptive authority provided to them (Florida Board of Nursing, 2016). After and before prescribing APRNs have the role of ensuring that all the drugs are taken at the right time and that the patients know of their side effects. To be on the safer side all APRNs must be responsible while prescribing drugs as this is in all of the patients benefit.
To add on that every practitioner who needs to prescribe medication must be registered by the United States drug enforcement administration. They should also have an experience of two years in terms of the drugs they purchase, distribute, administer and dispense (Florida Board of Nursing, 2016).

According to the last report of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, the scope of the nurses' practices is not limited by their titles. On the contrary, advanced nursing practice allows nurses to actively participate in clinical diagnoses, interventions, treatment monitoring, prescribing, and examinations physical (Batey & Holland, 2018). At present, the concept of advanced practice nurses has achieved worldwide development, for this reason, the health system prefers advanced practice nurses because they are trained professionals to meet the needs of patients and meet the administrative requirements of the system sanitary (Coulehan & Sheedy, 2017).
Prescribing for advanced practice nurses (APRNs) is a new integration to their responsibilities and duties with the health of patients. The prescribing of these nurses, has demonstrated effectiveness and efficacy, and allows APRNs to approach the integral and efficient management of patients from the viewpoint of other nurses, given that, according to each state, APRNs have the power to prescribe, that is, if APRNs have experience in prescribing, each state can limit this practice (Scudder, 2016).
Regarding the education of APRNs, these nurses should be specially educated to formulate prescription medications, to train about safe practices based on formulas and the combination of controlled medications. On the other hand, the limited APRNs for the formulation of medications, have the option of working interdisciplinary with other professionals to participate in the prescription, this ensures that nurses know the risks and benefits of the prescription (Coulehan & Sheedy, 2017). However, this seems to be a barrier, like the laws in each state, since it does not allow trained APRNs to exercise their knowledge and skills in this regard. Although this practice aims to protect the integrity of patients, it limits the experience and autonomy of nurses with the knowledge and certified education (Batey & Holland, 2018).
Finally, another barrier faced by nurses trained and endorsed by the state, are the regulations of each health institution, since, each hospital can determine the scope of APRNs, that is, hospitals can limit the APRNs to formulate prescriptions of medications, even if, they are accredited and allowed by the state, since, federal and state laws give hospitals autonomy to determine the competencies and functions of each of their workers (Jiao & Murimi, 2018). Likewise, it is possible to affirm that the main consequence of these barriers affects the quality and effective care of patients, since, in some cases, there may be delays in medical care until a certified physician supervises the activities of APRNs, increasing health costs and decreasing patient satisfaction (Batey & Holland, 2018).

This document discusses nurse practitioner (NP) practice and barriers in New Jersey. It provides background on the development of the NP role since the 1960s. While NP practice has expanded in many ways, barriers still exist including restrictive licensing and collaborative agreement requirements in some states. In New Jersey specifically, NPs have independence in some areas but lack full practice authority and face barriers related to physician opposition, restrictive regulations, and insurance reimbursement policies. The document argues that removing restrictions would allow NPs to practice to their full potential and help improve access, quality and costs of healthcare.

Conclusion
The capacity to adapt is crucial in an era of rapid change. Today’s politically astute nurses have many opportunities to shape public policy, by working in coalition together and with other health professionals and consumers, and to advocate for state and federal health policies and regulations that will allow the public greater access to affordable, quality health care. The window of opportunity that opened with the enactment of the comprehensive ACA will look somewhat different as we move forward. It is essential for nurses and APRNs to develop skills to capitalize on the chaos present in the healthcare and political environments and to create opportunities to advance the profession as a whole. Familiarity with the regulatory process will give nurses and APRNs the tools needed to navigate this dynamic environment with confidence. Knowing how to monitor the status of critical issues involving scopes of practice, licensure, and reimbursement will allow APRNs to influence the outcomes of debates on those issues. Participation in specialty professional nurse organizations is especially advantageous. Participation builds a membership base, providing the foundation for strong coalition building and a power base from which to effect change in the political and regulatory arenas. Participation also gives members ready access to a network of colleagues, legislative affairs information, and professional and educational opportunities. Although supporting the profession through participation is central, it is equally important to remember that each professional nurse has the ability to make a difference.

Identify and describe practice barriers for all four APNs roles in you.docxsandraa52
Identify and describe practice barriers for all four APNs roles in your state and discuss these barriers on a state and national level. The four roles include the nurse midwife, nurse anesthetist, nurse practitioner and clinical nurse specialist.
Nurse practitioners significantly contribute to disease prevention, disease management and health promotion. APNs have faced barriers to practice at both the state and national perspective since the beginning. The four roles of the APN include the nurse midwife, nurse anesthetist, nurse practitioner and clinical nurse specialist. There are various rules and regulations based on the scope of practice. Advanced practice nurses face challenges including policy restrictions on practice, poor physician relationships, prescription privileges, licensure, payment and insurance company problems and restrictive practice settings. Each state varies when it comes to rules, regulations, practicing guidelines and prescribing privileges.
The nurse practitioner in the state of Florida is permitted to perform medical diagnosis and treatment, prescribe medications, and operate with authorization of an established protocol supervision. The Florida law requires that NPs enter into a supervisory agreement with a physician to practice which allows the nurse practitioner to diagnose, dispense, prescribe, and administer medications (Weissing, 2019). Nurse practitioners in Florida can prescribe controlled substances that are scheduled II-IV. “An advanced registered nurse practitioner may prescribe or dispense a controlled substance as defined in s. 893.03 only if the advanced registered nurse practitioner has graduated from a program leading to a master’s or doctoral degree in a clinical nursing specialty area with training in specialized practitioner skills†(Bushy, 2019, p.6). “The American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) classifies state laws and regulations impacting APRN practice and identifies the practice environment within the state as full, restricted, or reduced†(Kleinpell et al., 2022, p.137).
A certified nurse midwife has advanced education in both family practice and midwifery. A midwife provides care for women and newborns including gynecological and prenatal care. A barrier to practice for the nurse midwife is the lack of clarity regarding the nature and scope of practice of the nurse midwife. The Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist is a licensed practitioner who administers anesthesia to a wide range of patients in collaboration with surgeons, anesthesiologists, and other healthcare providers. The CRNA does not prescribe medications or diagnose patients. A practice barrier the CRNA faces is being able to perform their duties with or without a supervising anesthesiologist. In the state of Florida, a physician’s supervision is required for a CRNA to practice.

This document discusses regulations for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) and how they vary between states. It provides examples comparing regulations for nurse practitioners in Maryland and Michigan. In Maryland, NPs must collaborate with physicians for 18 months, while in Michigan NPs can practice independently without physician supervision or collaboration. Regulations for prescribing authority and other responsibilities like signing death certificates also differ between the two states. The document concludes that states have different regulations and scopes of practice for APRNs.
Payment Reform for Pharmacists Remains VariableNan Myers
This document summarizes payment reform for pharmacists and barriers they face to reimbursement for expanded services. While pharmacists now provide direct patient care services beyond dispensing prescriptions, compensation models have not caught up and often do not provide reimbursement for new roles. Federal programs like Medicare do not recognize pharmacists as providers, and some state laws are starting to address this by enabling pharmacist billing and allowing expanded care services and prescriptive authority. As primary care physician shortages grow, states may further advance pharmacists' provider status to boost access to care.

Re: RIN 2900–AP44-Advanced Practice Registered Nurses; Proposed Rule (May 25, 2016)
The undersigned physician organizations representing national specialty and state medical societies are
writing to provide comments on the Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA) Advanced Practice
Registered Nurses (APRNs) Proposed Rule which, if finalized, would permit all VHA-employed APRNs to
practice without the clinical supervision of physicians and without regard to state law.
Nurses are an integral part of physician-led health care teams that deliver high quality care to patients.
They are often the first and last person to interact with a patient during an episode of care, and, in the case
of APRNs, they are well equipped to play advanced roles in the health care team. However, APRNs are no
substitute for physicians in diagnosing complex medical conditions, developing treatment plans that take
into account patients’ wishes and limited health care resources, and ensuring that the treatment plan is
followed by all members of the health care team. Nowhere is this more important than in the VHA, which
delivers highly complex medical care to disabled veterans, including those with traumatic brain injuries and
other serious medical and mental health issues. Our nation’s veterans deserve high quality health care that
is overseen by physicians. For the reasons below, the undersigned organizations strongly oppose the
Proposed Rule and urge the VHA to consider policy alternatives that prioritize team-based care
rather than independent nursing practice.
Education and Training Matter
The key difference between medical and nursing education and training is the fact that medical students
spend four years focusing on the entire human body and all of its systems—organ, endocrine, biomedical,
and more—before undertaking three to seven years of residency training to further develop and refine their
ability to safely evaluate, diagnose, treat, and manage a patient’s full range of medical conditions and
needs. And, by gradually allowing residents to practice those skills with greater independence, residency
training prepares physicians for the independent practice of medicine. Combined, medical school and
residency training total more than 10,000 hours of clinical education and training.
In contrast, a nurse generally must complete either a two- or three-year masters or doctoral degree program
to become an APRN. While all baccalaureate nursing programs require a minimum 800 hours of patient
care, advanced nursing degree programs have different patient care hour requirements with no common
minimum standard. It has been estimated, for example, that nurse practitioners’ training includes 500-720
patient care hours, and that nurse anesthetists complet.
The document discusses the Nursing Practice Act (NPA) in California. The NPA establishes the scope of practice and responsibilities for registered nurses in the state. It is administered by the state's Board of Nursing, which creates policies and regulations to govern nursing. The NPA covers areas like education standards, disciplinary actions, and the scope of nursing work. Section 2725.3 specifies tasks registered nurses can perform, such as administering medication, conducting procedures, and educating patients. It is important for nurses to understand the NPA as it defines their allowed roles and protects them if they practice according to the law. The NPA also establishes core values like promoting public health.
Duplication prescribing and misuse of medicine can harm patients and lead to death. Duplication prescribing occurs when multiple medications are prescribed for the same condition without coordination. Misuse involves using medication other than as intended, such as through addiction. Strategies to reduce these risks include implementing electronic health records and clinical decision support to avoid therapeutic duplication, educating patients, and enhancing prescription drug monitoring programs and enforcement of drug disposal laws.
Patient counseling provides several benefits but also faces challenges. It reduces errors, noncompliance, and adverse drug reactions while improving outcomes and patient satisfaction. Counseling is integral to providing pharmaceutical care and professional pharmacy services. However, pharmacists face challenges like lack of time, incentives, and an environment conducive to counseling. Regulations, acceptance by other providers, and patient factors can also impede counseling.

In developing this essay, I could also use description, definition, comparison/contrast and cause and effect, since these are also ways to evaluate something. My goal is to provide an evaluation that readers find reasonable and thorough.
What I want to come up with based on this questioning, is a plan for research that includes discussion of who I would go to for information and why, a list of potential survey and interview questions and an annotated bibliography with a minimum of three sources accessed through Booth Library databases.

This document discusses regulations for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) and how they vary between states. It provides examples comparing regulations for nurse practitioners in Maryland and Michigan. In Maryland, NPs must collaborate with physicians for 18 months, while in Michigan NPs can practice independently without physician supervision or collaboration. Regulations for prescribing authority and other responsibilities like signing death certificates also differ between the two states. The document concludes that states have different regulations and scopes of practice for APRNs.
Payment Reform for Pharmacists Remains VariableNan Myers
This document summarizes payment reform for pharmacists and barriers they face to reimbursement for expanded services. While pharmacists now provide direct patient care services beyond dispensing prescriptions, compensation models have not caught up and often do not provide reimbursement for new roles. Federal programs like Medicare do not recognize pharmacists as providers, and some state laws are starting to address this by enabling pharmacist billing and allowing expanded care services and prescriptive authority. As primary care physician shortages grow, states may further advance pharmacists' provider status to boost access to care.

The document assessed the knowledge, attitude and practice of patient medication counseling among drug dispensers in Jimma Town, Ethiopia. It found that almost half of dispensers believed patient counseling is the responsibility of pharmacy professionals. However, dispensers only provided about half of key counseling activities besides drug dose, frequency and administration route. High patient loads and lack of time were major barriers to effective counseling. The study concluded formal education and continuous training are needed to improve dispenser knowledge and patient counseling practices.

Re: RIN 2900–AP44-Advanced Practice Registered Nurses; Proposed Rule (May 25, 2016)
The undersigned physician organizations representing national specialty and state medical societies are
writing to provide comments on the Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA) Advanced Practice
Registered Nurses (APRNs) Proposed Rule which, if finalized, would permit all VHA-employed APRNs to
practice without the clinical supervision of physicians and without regard to state law.
Nurses are an integral part of physician-led health care teams that deliver high quality care to patients.
They are often the first and last person to interact with a patient during an episode of care, and, in the case
of APRNs, they are well equipped to play advanced roles in the health care team. However, APRNs are no
substitute for physicians in diagnosing complex medical conditions, developing treatment plans that take
into account patients’ wishes and limited health care resources, and ensuring that the treatment plan is
followed by all members of the health care team. Nowhere is this more important than in the VHA, which
delivers highly complex medical care to disabled veterans, including those with traumatic brain injuries and
other serious medical and mental health issues. Our nation’s veterans deserve high quality health care that
is overseen by physicians. For the reasons below, the undersigned organizations strongly oppose the
Proposed Rule and urge the VHA to consider policy alternatives that prioritize team-based care
rather than independent nursing practice.
Education and Training Matter
The key difference between medical and nursing education and training is the fact that medical students
spend four years focusing on the entire human body and all of its systems—organ, endocrine, biomedical,
and more—before undertaking three to seven years of residency training to further develop and refine their
ability to safely evaluate, diagnose, treat, and manage a patient’s full range of medical conditions and
needs. And, by gradually allowing residents to practice those skills with greater independence, residency
training prepares physicians for the independent practice of medicine. Combined, medical school and
residency training total more than 10,000 hours of clinical education and training.
In contrast, a nurse generally must complete either a two- or three-year masters or doctoral degree program
to become an APRN. While all baccalaureate nursing programs require a minimum 800 hours of patient
care, advanced nursing degree programs have different patient care hour requirements with no common
minimum standard. It has been estimated, for example, that nurse practitioners’ training includes 500-720
patient care hours, and that nurse anesthetists complet.
The document discusses the Nursing Practice Act (NPA) in California. The NPA establishes the scope of practice and responsibilities for registered nurses in the state. It is administered by the state's Board of Nursing, which creates policies and regulations to govern nursing. The NPA covers areas like education standards, disciplinary actions, and the scope of nursing work. Section 2725.3 specifies tasks registered nurses can perform, such as administering medication, conducting procedures, and educating patients. It is important for nurses to understand the NPA as it defines their allowed roles and protects them if they practice according to the law. The NPA also establishes core values like promoting public health.
Duplication prescribing and misuse of medicine can harm patients and lead to death. Duplication prescribing occurs when multiple medications are prescribed for the same condition without coordination. Misuse involves using medication other than as intended, such as through addiction. Strategies to reduce these risks include implementing electronic health records and clinical decision support to avoid therapeutic duplication, educating patients, and enhancing prescription drug monitoring programs and enforcement of drug disposal laws.
Patient counseling provides several benefits but also faces challenges. It reduces errors, noncompliance, and adverse drug reactions while improving outcomes and patient satisfaction. Counseling is integral to providing pharmaceutical care and professional pharmacy services. However, pharmacists face challenges like lack of time, incentives, and an environment conducive to counseling. Regulations, acceptance by other providers, and patient factors can also impede counseling.
Response paper, philippines code of ethics for registered nursesLyca Mae
This document discusses the Philippines Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses and how it provides a framework to guide nurses in drug administration. The code outlines five ethical responsibilities: nurses and people, nurses and practice, nurses and coworkers, nurses and society/environment, and nurses and their profession. It emphasizes respecting individuals, accountability in nursing practice, collaborative relationships, and preserving nursing integrity. While the code guides nurses' ethical actions in drug administration, it should still be revised over time to address changes in healthcare.

Rather it was for profit or to save the lives of its employees. Their decision may have been considered unethical by the United States standards. But, to them it was the right thing to do to eliminate human causality. A lot of these atrocities stem from the wide gap in wealth distribution, corruption, and greed at the highest level in the government infrastructure. Not too long ago in the distant past in the United States, the government, politicians, influential business men and part of society partake in various atrocities as well against several groups of people all in the name of greed, profit, and racism.

Role of Advanced Practice Nursing
According to the Florida Board of Nursing, advanced
registered nurse practitioners (ARNPs) can prescribe patients
with controlled substances that are listed in the schedule II, III
and IV which are well described in s. 893.03 Florida Statutes.
Before doing so, they are to participate in three-hour training
sessions which would help them implement the right strategies
(Florida Board of Nursing, 2016). For APRNs to provide the
right prescriptions to their patients they are necessitate to
analyze and describe patient’s health problems. They are also
required to fill their patients with enough knowledge regarding
the drugs side effects and how they are supposed to take them
(Pigman et al., 2016). As well-known medical practitioners
should ensure that after a patient receives a drug, its use is well
achieved. As stated by the state requirements an APRN should
also do the same to make sure that the drug given achieves the
goal it it supposed to achieve (Kooienga and Wilkinson, 2017).
There are numerous barriers that inhibit APRN
practitioners from carrying out their prescriptions roles as
required. First, there are various programs that may be directed
towards the deliverance of health care services that are of high
quality. But the problem comes in when the leaders of these
programs fail to equip APRNs with advanced skills for dealing
with them. Lack of enough knowledge and negative perceptions
towards the same may inhibit them from performing their
prescription roles. Secondly, state license restrictions may limit
APRNs from fully participating in their practices as required
because most boards only allow they to take part in one nursing
practice role depending on the concerted agreement (Reynolds
et al., 2021).
When prescribing medication to patients ARNPs have a
great role and responsibility. Their role depends on state laws
2. which are associated with the prescriptive authority provided to
them (Florida Board of Nursing, 2016). After and before
prescribing APRNs have the role of ensuring that all the drugs
are taken at the right time and that the patients know of their
side effects. To be on the safer side all APRNs must be
responsible while prescribing drugs as this is in all of the
patients benefit.
To add on that every practitioner who needs to prescribe
medication must be registered by the United States drug
enforcement administration. They should also have an
experience of two years in terms of the drugs they purchase,
distribute, administer and dispense (Florida Board of Nursing,
2016).

Role of advanced practice nursing in safe prescribing.
Advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) have become an
essential part of the health care community because of the
growing demand for primary care. They are registered nurses
who have prescriptive authority and advanced training in the
3. prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of illnesses (OLU, Alison
& Oldman, 2022). In the state of Florida, the statuses mandate
these advanced professionals to be in line with the supervisory
standards when prescribing controlled substances. This entails
the professions having training about self-prescribing and any
effective implementation based on similar strategies. The
APRNs do the evaluation and definition of the issues facing the
patients in order to give prescriptions that are free of errors.
They should also provide the needed knowledge to the patients
concerning any warnings and how the prescribed medicines
should be taken. In addition, they do regular monitoring of the
patients they correctly benefit from the provided prescriptions.
Prescribing barriers for APRNs.
Even though APRNs are authorized to prescribe, there are a
number of barriers limiting their autonomy. Some of these
barriers are:
1. Policy restrictions on APRN practice
In some cases, state licensure hinders these professionals from
engaging entirely based on their academic qualifications. As a
result, their engagement in one of the NP roles can only be
based on collaborative agreements.
1. APRN-physician relations
These professionals, in many cases, lack full autonomy from
physicians. In the state of Florida, the conditions they work
under are controlled, and they are required to work with the
physicians to describe.
1. The barrier of payer policies
Certain payer policies dissuade APRNs from participating in
health care delivery activities at their full capacity, despite their
training and licensure (Schirle, Norful, Rudner & Poghosyan,
2018). In some cases, scope-of-practice policies limit
practitioners' duties to certain roles. For example, a majority of
private payers require APRNs to work under a physician in
order to be compensated, which results in an extremely
restricted scope of practice for APRNs.

LESPERANCE
Role of APRNs In Safe Prescribing
Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN) play an integral
part in the healthcare system by prescribing safe medicines to
the patient population and by offering various other healthcare
services to the public. Prescribing the right medicine at the
right dosage is a complex and an essential concept in healthcare
5. system as it helps in improving the health of the patients by
alleviating their pain conditions (Cardiff et al., 2018). It also
helps in avoiding unnecessary medical expenses and poor health
outcomes in a community. The APRNs are equipped with
special education and training to prescribe the right medicines
to the patient population for enhancing the overall health
outcomes. They guide the healthcare facilities in offering the
right prescription to the patients by keeping both the nurses and
the patients safe from healthcare adversaries. However, each
state in the US differs in providing licensure to the APRNs in
terms of safe prescription (Tilley et al., 2019).
According to the 893 Section 03 Florida Statutes of standards
and schedules, the APRNs are authorized to prescribe the
patients with controlled drugs and substances under the
supervisory standards and by abiding to the ethical guidelines.
These registered nurse practitioners are equipped with the
adequate skills, knowledge, and training to prevent, diagnose,
order tests, and treat patients from various infections and
diseases. Their position in the nursing community offers them
with the legal rights to prescribe the most appropriate medicines
and treat the patients in a safe and effective manner (Woo et al.,
2017). Additionally, the APRNs are also involved in monitoring
the health of the patients frequently after the administration of
the prescribed drugs. In general, APRNs offer safe, effective,
high quality and patient-centered care through the right
prescription of medicines to the patient. As a primary healthcare
service provider, autonomy is regarded as the central concept of
APRNs. Even though the APRNs possess the authority to
prescribe medicines, there are certain cases, where they
experience barriers in prescribing medicines for the patients.
These barriers limit the registered nurses from being
independent in prescribing the patients with the right
medications. Failing to prescribe timely medicines in primary
care settings causes the APRNs a lack in delivering high quality
care services and also delays the process of receiving timely
treatment to the patients while waiting for confirmation and
6. agreement from the physician who is in collaborative working
terms with the APRN. These kinds of barriers impose a huge
burden upon the people especially among those living in rural
areas and those belonging to the underserved population i n a
community. These prescribing barriers are also involved in
increasing the medical costs which makes the patients and the
tax payers difficult to pay the expenditure.
One of the most important barriers that are widely observed is
the state licensure restrictions. As per this barrier, the
registered nurses are restricted to serve the community
independently, besides their educational qualifications and other
professional eligibilities. In Florida, the APRNs are allowed to
work under controlled conditions through a collaborative
association with a physician for prescribing the medicines.
Another barrier that the APRNs face in prescribing medicines is
their poor skills and lack of adequate training. This prevents
them from offering high quality services to the public. Hence, it
is essential that the APRNs should be well-equipped and trained
in order to perform their role well and to provide safe and
effective prescription of medicines to the patients. Third
important prescribing barrier noted among APRNs includes
certain healthcare policies that inhibit the registered nurses to
actively engage in their professional functions and
responsibilities to the full potential. Unfavorable working
conditions, dissatisfaction in job, and certain practice policies
causes the APRNs to perform their role effectively which in
turn results in poor patient outcomes. Hence, in order to
enhance the health conditions of the people in a healthcare
system, it is essential that these barriers for prescribing
medicines by the APRNs be removed (Bates and Martin-
Misener, 2021).

Role of Advanced Practice Nurse in Safe Prescribing
APRNs derive their prescriptive authority from legal provisions
contained in the laws of the State of Florida. Chapter 893
Section 03 of the 2018 Florida Statute defines the supervisory
and prescription standards that APRNs must adhere to before
prescribing medication (Toney-Butler & Martin, 2018).
However, APRNs must attend 3-hour training sessions. These
sessions provide practitioners with vital skills in the safe
prescription of medication. In addition, APRNs acquire
8. competence to effectively implement the associated Statute's
provisions. The Statute expects APRNs to evaluate and define
the unique health issues affecting patients before prescribing
any medication. It also requires APRNs to educate patients
about the associated contraindications of administered or
recommended prescriptions. Moreover, its provisions encourage
APRNs to regularly monitor patients to ensure that they benefit
from the intended benefits of prescribed medications.
Additional provisions of the Statute emphasize the centrality of
APRNs in the prescription of medicines (Florida Board of
Nursing, 2016). Accordingly, the Statute expands the scope of
APRNs in the safe prescription of medication by requiring these
practitioners to adhere to similar standards as physicians. The
expansion of the role of the nurse results in an alteration of the
scope of practices traditionally delegated only to doctors, as is
the case of the prescription of drugs. The defense of the
representative entities of nursing, refers to a defense of the
profession's own autonomy and should not be construed as a
threat to other categories. The responsibility for the final
decision on which drug to use and how to use it is the hands of
APRN prescriber (Moser & Robinson, 2016).
Prescribing Barriers for APRNs
Several barriers diminish the ability of APRNs to safely and
effectively prescribe medication. The first primary barrier is
stringent state licensure regulations, which prohibit APRNs
from prescribing medication based on their educational
qualifications (Hain & Fleck, 2014). State regulations only
allow APRNs to prescribe within the scope of their nursing
practitioner (NP) roles and training. A second barrier is the
level of education of an APRN. Presently inadequacies of
nursing training programs reduce the ability of APRNs to
provide advanced healthcare services (Hain & Fleck, 2014).
Adverse perceptions of their nursing role, poor working
conditions, and knowledge deficiencies further exacerbate this
barrier resulting in a diminished ability of practitioners to
prescribe safely. Finally, health insurance provider policies
9. often dissuade APRNs from accomplishing their role in writing
prescriptions in clinical settings (Hain & Fleck, 2014). For
example, a variety of practice policies limits practitioners to
nursing positions based on training, knowledge, experience, and
licensure statutes. Subsequently, the interaction of these
barriers and individual nursing perceptions complicates the
APRNs' ability to deliver effective healthcare services during
practice.

Role of Advanced Practice Nursing in Safe Prescribing
An advanced practice nurse plays a critical role in the country's
health sector. Nurses deliver a universal viewpoint and personal
touch to health care by combining clinical competence in
diagnosing and treating health issues, emphasizing disease
prevention and health management.
An advanced practice nurse can prescribe medications for
patients based on the current legislation. For example, Florida
State passed the law in April 2016 authorizing nurse
practitioners to prescribe controlled substances. The law now
allows an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner who is also a
psychiatric nurse to prescribe certain controlled substances
(Reynolds et al., 2021)
10. Nurse practitioners, however, face prescribing obstacles. For
example, state license governs nurse practitioners practice and
serves as a roadblock to nurses practicing to the full extent of
their training. It means that the practitioners licensing and
practice laws differ by state, despite a full practice authority- a
collection of state practices and licensing rules that permit
nurse practitioners to prescribe medications. Still, the issue is
that most of the country has not adopted the full practice
authority. They result in little practice and licensing, implying
that nurses can perform at least one aspect of their training
under supervision (Germack, 2021).
Furthermore, some physicians, such as the American Medical
Association, consider nurse practitioners incapable of providing
excellent, safe care, as compared to them, since they have more
extensive training than nurse practitioners (Germack, 2021).
Payer policies are another major barrier. Nurses believe that it
substantially impacts their capacity to explore their potentials.
The degree of nurses to practice independently may be limited
in their scope of practice if restricted.
According to the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, a
prescription is a part of a nurse scope of practice. Therefore
prescribing is neither a separate act from nurse practitioners
practice.

LUANDA
Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners (ARNPs) are involved
in the safe prescribing of control substances listed in Schedule
11. II, III, or IV as defined in section 893.03 of Florida Statutes.
APRNs provide patients with relevant information concerning
medications, such as warnings of side effects and instructions
on how to take medications. The APRNs also provide efficient
monitoring of patients on the regular basis to observe the
recovery progress and detect the presence of any side effects
associated with the use of drugs (Floridasnursing.gov, n.d.). To
improve safety in prescribing, APRNs use appropriate tools
such as prescribing software and electronic drug references that
help in reducing prescription errors (Floridasnursing.gov, n.d.).
These strategies have been useful in providing safe
prescriptions to patients.
One of the prescribing barriers for APRNs is inadequate to state
practice and licensure. Some APRNs may not have a full
practice, limiting them from prescribing medications (Hain &
Fleck, 2014). In Florida, only licensed practitioners are allowed
to prescribe medication and a few of them limit the prescription
posing risks to the on-demand prescription services. Another
barrier involves physician-related issues. Variations in
education and training make some physicians exposed to
rigorous training while others have less training, preventing
them from providing quality and safe practices and
prescriptions. Specifically, nurse practitioners have struggled
for several years to move to full practice authority from
restrictive practice in Florida because of the inadequate training
and education (Hain & Fleck, 2014). With the increasing
demand for primary care, there is a need for education and more
training to allow APRNs to develop quality and safe care skills
and knowledge. Also, payer policy is threatened (Schirle et al.,
2020). The payer policies have significantly impacted APRNs'
ability to practice to the fullest of their training and licensure
by limiting what they can do, especially those who do not
conform to the requirements of the policies (Hain & Fleck,
2014). Payer policies are among the state practice regulations
and licensure. Thus, the restrictive scope of practice leads to
stricter payer policies that limit APRNs from working
12. independently (Hain & Fleck, 2014). In this case, the limits are
applicable to those who should give prescriptions.
