How does a do not resuscitate order differ from a living will?
What will be an ideal response?
A living will is a document that directs the kind of medical care a person wants in the event that person suffers from a terminal condition, or is in a persistent vegetative state. The person making such direction does not have to currently have a terminal condition. A do not resuscitate order declares that the patient does not want resuscitation efforts to be initiated if the patient suffers cardiac arrest or respiratory failure and for whom resuscitation is not warranted and may only be executed by a patient with a terminal condition.
