2scents -“She did not mention that the PT had a DNR,”
I wasn’t there and neither were you -so maybe she did tell this to EMS when they arrived?
“and it was not present, that is why EMS did resuscitate.
If they had a DNR then it should have been present, no DNR present CPR should not be withheld.”
Yes, and this is why EMS attempted resuscitation.
But, my point was -if she knew that there was one – the moral thing was for her to withhold CPR. Not like you keep claiming that she was Immoral. It was EMS who actually did the wrong thing, but they can’t be blamed because noone at that time handed them a DNR.
