Well, if he is a 'no code' then you would not call a code. 1 point for Nurse B. Why do you ask?

So no code means no crash cart, which means no artificial airways or other assist I've devices.

Was this patient a 'full code'? There can be different levels of code status.

Morte,he has a heart beat. a crash cart will provide better ventilatory support than no crash cart.

RN403, so if the code status is no CPR and he isn't breathing we do nothing?

What do you think should be done, if anything?

If he is a partial code that's one thing it should state what can and can not be done
