Decision-making to place a DNR order on a patient's record should include which of the following considerations (check all that apply): Select one or more: a. Four to six minutes after cardiac arrest, or loss of circulation, the brain suffers significant damage, with resulting cognitive deficits, and if it is not performed quickly enough, CPR may result only in the rescue of a severely brain-damaged individual. b. A decision for "full code" ("Attempt CPR") or "no code" (DNR/DNAR) should be weighed carefully against the patient's overall condition, health, prognosis, and goals of treatment. c. The success rate for in-hospital CPR attempts is very low, particularly for elderly patients, where success is defined as "surviving to discharge with baseline neurological function intact." d. Elderly patients subjected to CPR often suffer secondary injuries, including cracked ribs, broken sternum, and damage to internal organs. e. CPR promises very different results for…

Case: Charlie's parents were eager to transfer him to the U.S. for experimental treatment, but the baby's physicians believed his brain damage was too severe and irreversible by the time the treatment was an option, according to BBC news reports. When doctors recommended withdrawing life support, Charlie's parents disagreed. After a legal battle, British judges agreed with the physicians and life-sustaining medical treatment was discontinued. Charlie Gard died in July at the age of 11 months. The story highlighted the tension nurses experience as they care for terminally ill children during an era when technology has made it possible to save patients who would have died in the past.
