    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.

    if he still had a heart beat, assist breathing in some way....

    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?

  • Quote

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

    Most floors have a code cart from which to get supplies. Thus no need to call a code to get supplies.

    There are many different levels of "code/no code" as well as "comfort measures" patients. In some cases, RT might be called to provide better/different options for optimizing oxygenation.

    How was the pt found, did they have a pulse or spontaneous respirations, or were they no pulse/no resp?

    The answers to your OP are dependent in these details.
