First, review your state government’s website and search for its official Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Form; along with the form will be information and
instructions regarding the form. Next, research two area hospitals to determine if they provide separate DNR forms. Finally, perform additional research
regarding DNRs.
In your initial post,
• Analyze the requirements of your state government’s DNR.
• Identify the requirements of the DNRs of the two hospitals.
• Examine the differences and similarities between the DNR requirements of the state and the two hospitals, and address the following questions:
o What are they?
o Which one should you follow?
• Explain how a DNR is applied if a patient is under hospice care and EMTs are called.
NOTE: Some governments and hospitals call these forms Advanced Directives. Either one is acceptable.
