Message Subject Why did staff refuse to give woman CPR?
Poster Handle eddy
Post Content
Wow, lots of emotion re this subject.

1. Nurses do NOT take an oath as one person suggested.

2. Time will tell, but I would think that a contract with a SNF is indeed a contract and therefore a legal binding act between the residents and the staff that CPR will not be done. Both parties are obligated.

3. No law suit will occur based on the contract and the daughters own statement.

4. People need to learn more about what happens to folks after CPR in the elderly, ie >80.

5. People need to understand that other peoples wishes are indeed their own and we should not project our own beliefs, desires, fears, etc upon them.

6. Almost all people in SNFs do indeed have DNRs, unless they are young and there strictly due to their debilitation, or for rehab etc.

7. We all need to think about how we can respect others desires and wishes.

8. We all need to put in writting our desires so our familes can see that they are carried out appropriately.

9. Please do not respond to my post. I do not want my BP to go up and ..............
