Here is the defiinition on our md order for DNI:
(Do Not Resuscitate) comfort interventions only. You will not receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) treatment with electromechanical devices. A tube will not be placed in your nose or mouth. You will not receive air artificially by either bag or breathing machine.
Is this correct? We all were arguing that DNI ONLY means no intubation (do no intubate) and the patient WOULD recieve CPR. I thought no CPR was DNR. Are we wrong? This is very important because this is what we have to go by (im in homehealth).
