Hello! The facility has a no-CPR policy that all residents are aware of and still chose, even pay, to live there. The nurse was bound by contract not so different than DNR, entered into with informed consent by residents.
I don't buy it. I want to see this "informed consent" form, if it even exists. I also want to know how this facility is marketed. A nurse's ethical obligations supersede any contract. It is made abundantly clear in the Code of Ethics that the ethical requirements of being a licensed nurse take priority above all else.
