Even if the lady had a do not resuscitate order, the staff in the dining room would not necessarily have known about it and the normal reaction would have been to call 911 and follow their directions. One cannot obey an order if one doesn't know it exists. If the nurse did know why didn't she inform the 911 operator?<br /><br />That the family was okay with the outcome seems to me a separate matter from what the proper procedure in an emergency should have been.Mari Meehanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09322012728807169863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-39136726393279794482013-03-06T18:21:06.290-08:002013-03-06T18:21:06.290-08:00I read that too.. and saw it on Good Morning Ameri...I read that too.. and saw it on Good Morning America... there were some unanswered questions.. Like was there a directive written by the woman.. a do nothing, no CPR, and etc. If there was, then legally they can't. But one has to wonder.. if there was such a paper, then why did they call 911 in the first place. Also they said the family was fine with the way it all went.. so that is why I was wondering if there was a directive. Sure was a weird occurance. Working in a health care center for 17 years, I know that there have been times we were to stand by.. as we could be sued if we did not honor the paper filled out by that resident. But again, I don't understand why she called 911 in the first place IF.. IF... that was the case. Word Tosserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519547102435672497noreply@blogger.com
