APNs are considered as being an advanced subcategory of the nursing practice, who are
allowed to make decisions based on the analysis of patients' data autonomously. They are most
frequently allowed to prescribe specific treatments to those in need and send them for further
evaluations. Based on the guideline, they can prescribe any type of drugs based on their
competence as long as they have an independent prescribing qualification and do not postpone
more suitable medical examinations.
