And now you don't know what HIPAA is.
No, that is not how a do not resuscitate legal document works. What's more, a facility makes its policies known to anyone who signs in there; in fact, you have to sign them before they let you stay. Why do you think the daughter had no problem with her mothers passing?What is at stake here is the do nothing policy of the home. Basically they have a policy that FORBIDS the workers to put on a pressure bandage in the case of a severe cut since that would mean they violate the do nothing policy of wait until the emergency crew arrives.
Again, no. Not how a DNR works. What's more, she had pulmonary failure, not a cut.So the do nothing rule says they are to let a person bleed out which shows that this have NOTHING with DNR to do.
