The ethical dilemma of the do not resuscitate order
Br J Nurs.
1997 Jun.
Abstract
Tingle (1988) stated that doctors and nurses frequently find themselves in the position of making decisions which are not solely medical or nursing but of a moral or ethical nature. To illustrate this concept the author describes and analyses how the ethical arena has impinged upon her practice. Professional accountability and patient involvement are critical issues which need to be addressed. Do not resuscitate decisions should be based on a collaborative approach centred around the patient.
