Who cannot prescribe medications currently, despite having prescriptive authority elsewhere?

  1. Physicians and NPs

  2. Podiatrists and naturopaths

  3. Pharmacists and optometrists

  4. Dentists and vets

The correct answer is: Podiatrists and naturopaths

Podiatrists and naturopaths are the only options that cannot currently prescribe medications, despite having prescriptive authority elsewhere. Physicians and NPs, pharmacists and optometrists, and dentists and vets all have the ability to prescribe medications in certain situations. Podiatrists and naturopaths may have prescriptive authority in other areas of healthcare, such as podiatric medicine or natural remedies, but they lack the ability to prescribe medications currently. Therefore, they are the only options that fit the criteria presented in the question.
