True or False: An APRN requires collaboration with a physician to prescribe any schedule medications.

In Connecticut, an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) does indeed require collaboration with a physician to prescribe any controlled substances, which include medications classified under Schedule II, Schedule III, Schedule IV, and Schedule V. This collaborative agreement outlines the APRN's role in patient care and delineates their scope of practice, including the ability to prescribe controlled substances. It is important for APRNs to maintain this collaboration to ensure comprehensive care and adherence to state laws regarding the prescribing of medications.

In certain situations or states, the regulations may allow for more independence; however, in Connecticut, the requirement for collaboration remains in place for all scheduled medications. This collaboration helps to ensure safety and efficacy in medication management, especially with controlled substances that carry a higher risk of abuse and dependence.
