Application of Evidence-Based Practice at the Current Workplace
What type of drug should you prescribe based on your patients diagnosis? How much of the drug should the patient receive? How often should the drug be administered? When should the drug not be prescribed? Are there individual
patient factors that could create complications when taking the drug? Should you be prescribing drugs to this patient? How might different state regulations affect the prescribing of this drug to this patient?
These are some of the questions you might consider when selecting a treatment plan for a patient.
As an advanced practice nurse prescribing drugs, you are held accountable for peoples lives every day. Patients andtheir 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 patients treatment plan. In this Assignment, you explore the ethical and legal
implications of scenarios and consider how to appropriately respond.
To Prepare
Review the Resources for this module and consider the legal and ethical implications of prescribing prescription drugs, disclosure, and nondisclosure.
Review the scenario assigned by your Instructor for this Assignment. Search specific laws and standards for prescribing prescription drugs and for addressing medication errors for your
state or region, and reflect on these as you review the scenario assigned by your Instructor.
Consider the ethical and legal implications of the scenario for all stakeholders involved, such as the prescriber, pharmacist, patient, and patients family.
Think about two strategies that you, as an advanced practice nurse, would use to guide your ethically and legally
responsible decision-making in this scenario, including whether you would disclose any medication errors.
By Day 7 of Week 1
Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following: Explain the ethical and legal implications of the scenario you selected on all stakeholders involved, such as the
prescriber, pharmacist, patient, and patients family.
Describe strategies to address disclosure and nondisclosure as identified in the scenario you selected. Be sure to
reference laws specific to your state.
Explain two strategies that you, as an advanced practice nurse, would use to guide your decision making in this
