— Explanation · 中文詳解 —
DNR(不施行心肺復甦術)訂單明確禁止在心跳或呼吸停止時進行 CPR 或氣管插管。當病人出現臨床死亡徵象時,護理師的臨床職責轉變為「尊嚴照護(Comfort Care)」,首要行動是通知主治醫師進行死亡宣告。此過程必須尊重病人的自主權與預立醫療指示(Advance Directive),任何強行急救的行為均屬於侵權。
A DNR order explicitly prohibits CPR or intubation if the client's heart or breathing stops. When clinical death occurs, the nurse's role shifts to comfort care; the first action is to notify the physician for death pronouncement. The process must respect the client's autonomy and advance directives—any forced resuscitation is a violation.
✦ 台美臨床差異
美國 DNR 訂單通常非常具體,有時會包含「DNI(不插管)」與「Full Code」的細節區分(如 MOLST 或 POLST 表單)。護理師在確認病人 DNR 狀態時,必須確保護理計畫與醫師的最新醫囑完全吻合。
