Medical aid in dying: The role of the nurse practitioner.
Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners 2024 January 12
Medical aid in dying (MAID) is a practice that has been expanding in the United States over the past few decades. As it becomes a viable option for a growing portion of the American population, nurse practitioners (NPs) need to be prepared to engage in conversation with patients about the practice. Although historically only physicians were able to participate in MAID, the role has recently expanded to include additional advanced practice providers, including NPs. Reviewing the history of MAID and examining how current legislation affects clinical practice can support the NP's ability to educate and counsel patients about the option. Identifying specific areas in which MAID providers report needing additional training and support can help providers work toward delivering the highest quality patient care possible. As MAID becomes accessible to greater numbers of people, NPs need to be prepared to talk to patients who are navigating serious, life-limiting illnesses about the possibility of MAID.
