A patient with a terminal illness does not have a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order, and upon entering the room, a nurse finds that the patient is not breathing. The first action that the nurse will take is to
 
  1. Ask another nurse to write the order for a DNR.
  2. Call the physician to get an order for a DNR.
  3. Begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) because an order for a DNR is not written.
  4. Notify the selected funeral home that the patient has expired.

Question 2

A patient suffering from dyspnea tells a nurse that she does not wish to take any additional drugs to help relieve her condition. The nurse suggests a nonpharmacological intervention such as
 
  1. Putting a fan near the bed to circulate the air
  2. Giving the patient small sips of warm water
  3. Providing additional movement and range-of-motion exercises
  4. Music therapy
