Gov. Signs Muñoz Bill Allowing APNs to Determine Cause of Death
From PolitckerNJ, May 4, 2015
TRENTON, N.J. – A bill sponsored by Assembly Deputy Republican Leader Nancy F. Muñoz to allow an attending advanced nurse practitioner (APN) to determine their patients’ cause of death was signed into law today by Gov. Christie.
“As the patient’s primary treating health professional, the APN is often with the patient at time of death which is a very emotional time for family members,” said Muñoz, R-Union, Morris and Somerset. “APNs are trained professionals who are licensed to treat, order tests, make referrals to surgeons, diagnose and manage long-term illnesses. It’s not only appropriate, it’s common sense to allow the attending APN to make such a call. This new law will help families move forward.”
The bill, A-1319/S-1152, allows an APN to determine the cause of death and execute the death certification of a patient when the nurse is the patient’s primary caregiver and the collaborating physician is not available.
