Multicenter Study
Jordanian critical care nurses' attitudes toward and experiences of do not resuscitate orders.
Do not resuscitate (DNR) decisions are an issue of considerable sensitivity for patients and their relatives, as well as health professionals. ⋯ This study demonstrates that Jordanian critical care nurses are willing to participate in DNR discussions and decision-making processes. Each hospital in the country should have a written DNR policy to guide and discipline health-care providers' practice.
