Prescriptions can be written at sites owned by the hospital or where training occurred.

• A. Any clinic
• B. Only at the main hospital
• C. Sites owned by the hospital or where training occurred
• D. Only after credentialing

Answer: (C)

Prescribing authority follows where the clinician is credentialed and supervised within the hospital's network. Hospital-owned sites and training sites operate under the same credentialing, supervision, and formulary systems, so clinicians who are credentialed for those settings can legally write prescriptions there. A clinic outside that network may not have the same authority, so prescribing isn’t automatically allowed unless the clinician has the appropriate privileges for that site. Limiting prescriptions to only the main hospital misses the broader network where prescribing is authorized, and saying credentialing is the sole gatekeeper ignores that the site’s affiliation already grants those privileges. So, prescriptions can be written at sites owned by the hospital or where training occurred.
