How is a 'Practitioner' defined?

  1. A person with a degree in healthcare

  2. A person duly authorized by law to prescribe drugs or devices

  3. Any healthcare worker

  4. Only doctors and nurses

The correct answer is: A person duly authorized by law to prescribe drugs or devices

A 'Practitioner' is defined as a person who is duly authorized by law to prescribe or administer drugs or medical devices. Option A is incorrect because a practitioner does not necessarily need a degree in healthcare to be authorized to prescribe drugs or devices. Option C is incorrect because it is too broad and not all healthcare workers have the authority to prescribe medications. Option D is also incorrect because there are other healthcare professionals, such as physician assistants and pharmacists, who are also considered practitioners and have the legal authority to prescribe drugs or devices.
