Impact of Do-Not-Resuscitate Orders on Nursing Clinical Decision Making.

CONCLUSIONS: This study is the first to demonstrate that code status affects decision making by nursing staff. It highlights the limitations that code status designations create with regard to patient care. By acknowledging that patients with DNR/DNI orders receive different care, we can create systems in which patients are treated equally, regardless of their code status.
