Reply To: Nurse Refused To Initiate CPR, What Is Your Opinion?

lesschumras,

I will not get into the discussion if DNR’s are OK or not, however your mothers case is not equal to this case.

Your mother was in an unresponsive state, this woman was living in an assisted living facility, meaning she was more or less on her own.

This happened in the dinning room, for all you know this patient could have been having a conduction issue.

I was on the scene of an 80 Y/O that coded, bystanders started CPR, this saved that persons life.
