Summary
The law bars registered nurses and most advanced practice nurses from giving general anesthetic medications for elective procedures, reserving that role for certified registered nurse anesthetists. It does permit RNs and APRNs to administer such drugs in life‑saving or critical‑care situations when supervised or properly trained. The change aims to improve patient safety while giving clinicians flexibility in emergencies.
