Excellent information is an easy to explain way. I am an End of Life Doula and this makes it so much easier to explain to clients. Thank you.

An excellent, understandable explanation of the DNR/DNI issue in light of patient autonomy. Very well done.

Very helpful

KATHLEEN DENNIS, RN

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

DEBORAH KELSTROM, RN

Very well done! We all have different ways of approaching this, but my greatest take away was your advice on how to approach patients & families to explain what a Full Code looks like versus DNR. So many medical professionals 'do it wrong' ("do everything" "not let you live like a vegetable") and I spend a lot of time explaining, as a nurse, after the crisis what each Code Status entails and how that applies to your loved one. (And that includes a Full Code frail 98 yo grandma and a healthy 50 yo boxer who became a DNR with his first DVT scare.) AND... DNR does NOT mean DO NOT TREAT! (Surprisingly, something that all medical professionals need to be reminded of often.) Thanks for your perspective! Much appreciated!

Clear, concise and informative. Confident and knowledgeable instructor.

Very informative and practical especially in terms of the analogy which can be used to simplify explaining this difficult process to patients and families.
