Washington Multistate Pharmacy Jurisprudence MPJE Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 445

Who can prescribe all drugs, all schedules, for treatment of conditions of the feet and ankles?

Physician's Assistant

Podiatrist

A physician's assistant (A) cannot prescribe all drugs as they need a supervising physician to sign off on prescriptions. An orthopedic surgeon (C) focuses on surgical repair of bones and joints rather than prescribing medications. A physiatrist (D) treats physical disabilities, but does not typically specialize in treating conditions of the feet and ankles. Therefore, the best answer is B, a podiatrist, who specializes in medical and surgical treatment of conditions of the feet and ankles and has the authority to prescribe all necessary medications.
