What is the scope of practice and prescribing authority of a nurse practitioner in Wyoming?

Can prescribe CIII-V with restrictions
Full independent practice authority, including controlled substances II-V and capability to obtain X DEA number
Must practice under a supervising physician
Cannot prescribe controlled substances

The correct answer is: Can prescribe CIII-V with restrictions

In Wyoming, nurse practitioners have limited prescribing authority. They are permitted to prescribe Schedule III-V controlled substances, but with some restrictions. Although it is not full independent practice authority as mentioned in option B, nurse practitioners in Wyoming can prescribe certain controlled substances with limitations. Option C is incorrect because nurse practitioners in Wyoming do not necessarily have to practice under a supervising physician. Option D is also incorrect as they are allowed to prescribe controlled substances within their scope of practice.
