I am a newly licensed LPN working at my first job in a LTC facility. I am still a little confused on DNR orders, as I'm sure most people are. DNR obviously means do not resuscitate. And I know there are different clarifications for each patient: no medications, comfort care, no CPR, etc. But say a patient wants absolutely no measures taken to save their life. Do you call 911/hospital? Say they're a DNR with comfort measures. What do I do in the meantime until I can get them to the hospital? I'm very confused by all this. I know it also depends on the facility. But do any of you nurses have a clear and dry way of telling me what to do in these situations? Or some stories of past experiences?
