If a patient is admitted to hospice but does not have a dnr and they are actively dying in front of you what do you do? I answered I'd call 911 and start CPR because by not signing a dnr patient is saying they want to be resuscitated. I was told that was wrong answer and we stay with the pt and make them comfortable until they die. I understand that's the meaning of hospice but what about our licenses? Doesn't not performing CPR on a patient without a dnr in place have legal reprocussions?
