W2 Practicum Assignment,"Assignment 2: Week 2 Practicum Journal: Safe Prescribing

There is probably no greater responsibility that the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner assumes than the responsibility of prescribing medications. While someone can be harmed by psychotherapy, the level and intensity of the harm generally does not come to the same level of harm that can occur from improper prescribing. The PMHNP must understand his/her responsibility both at a state and federal level when it comes to prescribing medications.

In this Practicum Journal Assignment, you will explore the legalities associated with prescribing controlled substances, as well as what a DEA number is, how to obtain one, and, most importantly, how to prescribe controlled substances in your state.

 

Students will:

 

  Analyze roles of the Drug Enforcement Administration

  Analyze PMHNP responsibilities when issued a DEA number

  Analyze DEA number application procedures

  Analyze state requirements for safe prescribing and prescription monitoring

  Analyze PMHNP responsibilities for safe prescribing and prescription monitoring

  Analyze Schedule II-V drug levels

 

To prepare for this Practicum Journal:
