Cor status refers to whether or not the person wants CPR. I guess to me it's kindof goofy because, depending on when my admission arrives, I may have time to devote to the "discussion" or I may not. What can happen, is that a person might code, before we know what their status is. And guess what, it already HAS happened where a person had CPR initiated on them, only to have family coming in saying NO NO NO, she doesn't want CPR. See where I'm coming from? I think all that should be determined/signed before they are admitted.
