DNR as an ethical and nursing problem
 BUBLÁKOVÁ, Jana
This thesis mapped the view of the DNR issue through the eyes of nurses working at the resuscitation department and ICU. A DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) order indicates situations when starting immediate resuscitation is not indicated in respiratory or cardiac arrest. DNR is ordered by a doctor after evaluation of the overall clinic condition and further prognoses of a patient. A patient him/herself has the right to decide on not starting resuscitation in the form of a request expressed in advance. The main task of the nurse continues to care for the patient and her/his family. Qualitative research showed thad nursing care remains unchanged even in a patient with DNR order. Nurses see DNR first of all as termination of patient suffering and consider DNR definitely acceptable in old and terminally ill people. Non resuscitation of a young person or a child is unacceptable for them. They consider the decision making itself an ethical problem. There is vain and inefficient treatment burdening a person on one side and person?s autonomy and participation in deciding on his/her own fate.
