As an advanced practice nurse prescribing drugs, you are held accountable for people's lives every day. Patients and their families will often place trust in you because of your position. With this trust comes power and responsibility, as well as an ethical and legal obligation to "do no harm." It is important that you are aware of current professional, legal, and ethical standards for advanced practice nurses with prescriptive authority. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the treatment plans and administration/prescribing of drugs is in accordance with the regulations of the state in which you practice. Understanding how these regulations may affect the prescribing of certain drugs in different states may have a significant impact on your patient's treatment plan. In this Assignment, you explore the ethical and legal implications of scenarios and consider how to appropriately respond.
