Where do they put them and how they comfort them.
Answers:
They provide comfort measures, such as pain control and nutrition, and other nursing care that any patients would get, but the difference is that they don't do life saving measures such as CPR or defibrillation or other "code" measures. They are allowed to die peacefully. As far as where they put them - they can either be in a hospital as a DNR patient, or if a doctor certifies that they have less than 6 months to live, they may be admitted to hospice, which could involve home care, so they may be seen by a home health nurse and given pain meds, etc. at home.
They cant do anything
they make them as comfortable as possible but if the situation of death rises they just have to let them die.they can not revive them if needed
they let them pass without resusitating them if they go into cardiac arrest.
When my husband was ill in 1988 we both signed D.N.R. and no Code oreders 5 times and they resuscitated. This was in Montery County California. He died after I ran out of money.
DNR is too much humbug about nothingLeave it to the doctors to decide whether your illness and physical state is worth resuscitating or not.
Trust them ,they do have a conscience of their own.Learn to just trust , as you trust an unknown group of people in your bank with your money.
Do Not Resuscitate means Do not resuscitate. So doctors do nothing.
All healthcare professionals involved in the care of that patient will not do anything to prolong the patient's life if in case patient deteriorates/dies. DNR orders may be modified, some may choose mechanical ventilation, or drugs. Usually when a pt is DNR, comfort measures is provided only.
If a patient is a DNR they will provide comfort measures such as pain medication CPAP and the such. The only things they are not allowed to do in chest compressions, intubation, and resus. meds.
