No, I've changed that last part so a person may self-administer the substance and in doing so cause death. It is important, and that's why I've switched the order around, that a medical practitioner or a nurse practitioner be present at the time and that the person not self-administer alone. This captures that spirit. To have either one present during the administration of the lethal dose is prudent, and that, in essence, is what's happening here.
