I would disagree with the Nurse. Age 70 is not old. Most of my friends dont even take any medciaction or have any chronic illnesses. A DNR is OK but there are differnt categories. A DNRCC requires that a person receive any care that eases pain and suffering, but no rescuitative measure to save or sustain life. This type of order is generally regarded as proper for a person with a terminal illness, short life expectancy, or with little chance of surviving CPR. Most 70 yera olds i know do not fit in this category. A DNRCC-Arrest order requires that the patient receive standard medical care until the time he or she experiences a cardiac or respiratory arrest. I dont want any DNR at this point in my life.
