- Abstract
The article discusses the education of in-patients and their families about the do not resuscitate (DNR) order. It is said that patients are not being adequately informed about resuscitation processes. Topics covered include the survival chances of patients aged 75 to 79 who have undergone emergency resuscitation, post-resuscitation complications due to injuries inflicted by the process, and the nurses' role in discussing resuscitation with the patients and their relatives.
