WHAT IF MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY DISAGREE ?
In a hospital or nursing home, your family can ask that the
disagreement be mediated. Your doctor can request mediation
if he or she is aware of any disagreement among your family
members.
WHAT IF I LOSE THE ABILITY TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT CPR AND DO NOT
HAVE ANYONE WHO CAN DECIDE FOR ME ?
A DNR order can be written if two doctors decide that CPR
would not work or if a court approves of the DNR order.
It would be best if you discussed your wishes about CPR with
your doctor in advance.
