In the DNR case study, the CNA left the patient to get longer tubing

Question Answered step-by-step In the DNR case study, the CNA left the patient to get longer tubingfor the patient’s oxygen so that he could take him to the restroom. While the CNA was gone, the patient removed his oxygen, and he tried to go to the restroom independently. He ended up falling and coding. When the CNA returned, he started CPR and called a code. The patient’s daughter told the CNA not to resuscitate because he has a DNR, while the patient’s son stated that he has power of attorney and that his father’s living will states that all heroic measures must be taken. The nurse escorts the family out of the room. She looks at the card in her pocket, confirming that the patient is a DNR, and quickly alerts the CNA to stop CPR. The doctor was pleased with how the nurse handled the situation, but the son was distraught and claimed he would sue the hospital.1.    Reflect upon what you have learned from the case study, and how it is related to the learning materials. 2.    Compare the case study to your nursing practice and give a similar example from your experience in which you might have run into an ethical situation.3.    Cite sources.
