Medical Aid in Dying : What Every Nurse Needs to Know
Copyright © 2022 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved..
ABSTRACT: The number of U.S. states legalizing medical aid in dying for patients with terminal diseases and survival prognoses of six months or less is increasing. At press time, 10 states and the District of Columbia have legalized such aid. But because terminal illnesses without clear prognoses are not covered under these laws, some patients are forced to seek medical aid in dying outside the country.The nurse's role regarding aid in dying is poorly defined, and must be clarified. Currently, nurses and other providers have many misconceptions and fears about providing patients and families with the relevant education. Nurses need to have accurate knowledge and understanding of aid in dying, so they can advocate for those requesting this option; ensure equitable access; and provide them with guidance, support, and resources. An interdisciplinary approach is essential.This article provides background information on aid in dying in the United States, discusses the nurse's role, offers an illustrative case report, and addresses nursing implications.
