MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which of the following has influenced an emphasis on primary care education in medical
schools?
a. Changes in Medicare reimbursement methods recommended in 1992
b. Competition from nonphysicians desiring to meet primary care shortages
c. The need for monopolistic control in the marketplace of primary outpatient care
d. The recognition that nonphysicians have variable success providing primary care
ANS: A
The Physician Payment Review Commission in 1992 directly increased financial
reimbursement to clinicians who provide primary care. Coupled with a shortage of primary
care providers, this incentive led medical schools to place greater emphasis on preparing
primary care physicians. Competition from nonphysicians increased coincidentally as
professionals from other disciplines stepped up to meet the needs. Nonphysicians have had
increasing success at providing primary care and have been shown to be safe and effective.
2. Which of the following statements is true about the prescribing practices of physicians?
a. Older physicians tend to prescribe more appropriate medications than younger
physicians.
b. Antibiotic medications remain in the top five classifications of medications
prescribed.
c. Most physicians rely on a “therapeutic armamentarium” that consists of less than
100 drug preparations per physician.
d. The dominant form of drug information used by primary care physicians continues
to be that provided by pharmaceutical companies.
ANS: D
Even though most physicians claim to place little weight on drug advertisements,
pharmaceutical representatives, and patient preference and state that they rely on academic
sources for drug information, a study showed that commercial rather than scientific sources of
drug information dominated their drug information materials. Younger physicians tend to
prescribe fewer and more appropriate drugs. Antibiotics have dropped out of the top five
classifications of drugs prescribed. Most physicians have a therapeutic armamentarium of
about 144 drugs.
3. As primary care nurse practitioners (NPs) continue to develop their role as prescribers of
medications, it will be important to:
a. attain the same level of expertise as physicians who currently prescribe
medications.
b. learn from the experiences of physicians and develop expertise based on evidence-
based practice.
c. maintain collaborative and supervisorial relationships with physicians who will
