Answer to Question 1

D
The scope and practice of the nurse practitioner, including prescriptive authority, is defined by the state's nurse practice act.

Answer to Question 2

C
In 1997, with the passage of the national reconciliation spending bill, NPs can be directly reim-bursed, regardless of geographic setting, at 85 of what a physician would have been paid (if the service is covered under Medicare part B).
