Explanation · 中文詳解

DNR(Do Not Resuscitate)醫囑的核心在於尊重病人自主權(Autonomy)。當病人已簽署 DNR,代表其選擇在生命末期拒絕心肺復甦術。護理師的法律與倫理義務是執行該醫囑,而非回應家屬當下的情緒需求。儘管家屬可能因為悲傷或對病情認知不足而要求 CPR,但護理師必須堅守專業立場,透過溝通與解釋來緩解家屬焦慮,並確保病人的尊嚴與遺願得到落實。

A Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order reflects the client's legal right to refuse life-sustaining treatment and must be honored by the nurse. The nurse should maintain the order while providing compassionate communication and education to the spouse to address their distress and clarify the client's wishes.

✦ 台美臨床差異

在美國,DNR 醫囑的法律效力極高,且各州有特定的格式(如 POLST/MOLST)。台灣雖有《病人自主權利法》,但臨床上家屬對 DNR 的干預程度往往高於美國,美國護理師更傾向於嚴格遵守書面醫囑,較少因家屬要求而動搖。
