Nothing in the Cardiac Arrest Response Act precludes a physician or a physician assistant, advanced practice registered nurse or certified nurse-midwife working within that person’s scope of practice from prescribing an automated external defibrillator to a patient for use by the patient’s caregiver on an individual patient, and the use does not require the individual to function in an approved program.
