Too basic. Not enough information provided. No difficult patient situations or scenarios provided to stimulate the provider's thought process and understanding. This is a FAR more complicated topic than what was discussed. This brief lecture series did not do it justice. This is the only topic which I feel could have been greatly enhance, all the others have been incredible!

This is one of the best DNR lectures Ive ever seen and Ive worked as an ICU RN . This presentation would have been so helpful to some families who I remember expected their love ones to be cured when the patients pillars were failing over a long period in ICU
