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

Health, it does not make sense that she should be aware of the DNR, I believe that there are more than three residents living in the facility. what business is it for the nurse if the person has a DNR or not so that she should be aware of this.

I think that you are to say something that is far fetched.

The reason she gives the dispatcher for not handing over the phone to anyone else in the room is because they do not know how to do CPR.

Other than that she keeps on going in circles.

When asked if she cares about the PT, she states yes, when asked so dont you help the PT, she replies that this is why she is calling 911.

I have attended many codes in similar facilities. Never has any of the staff had any knowledge if the PT has a DNR or not.
