DNAR Orders

Resources

• A physician writes a DNAR (Do Not Attempt Resuscitation) order for a patient with end-stage lung cancer. You carry out the order and put a DNAR bracelet on the patient. The patient’s son visits and comes to the nursing station. He asks you, “What does the new bracelet mean?” You explain the meaning of “do not attempt resuscitation.” The son becomes visibly upset and states,”No one talked to me about this; don’t I have any say on my own parent’s life?”

To complete this discussion, respond to the following prompts:

• As a nurse leader, what actions would you take in this situation?
• Whom would you want to contact in this situation? Why?
• What would you do if the patient has a cardiopulmonary arrest before the situation is resolved?
