Mr x is admitted for pallative surgury. PT has a living will, durable power of attorney and A DNR. Son is his durable power of attorney. Pt collapses on way to bathroom, no pulse or respirations. Son tells nurse to do everthing possible for PT. What should nurse do? Honor the DNR or the durable power of attorney's request. Any comments would be appreciated. thanks
I am just finishing nursing college I have been taking 18 credit per semester. I also am on the Deans list. I am 43 with 2 teenage boys 18 and 16. This is a career change for me. With a supportive family you should do well. Be true to yourself.
