You are sent to a home for a cardiac arrest. You find a patient who has been under hospice care for end-stage AIDS in cardiac arrest. The nurse tells you that some family members present when the patient expired apparently felt uncomfortable withholding care and called 911. She apologizes. A relative interrupts and says she doesn't care what the nurse says, she wants you to help her brother. What should your next action(s) be?
A) Have the nurse provide the DNR. If it is in order, explain to the sister that you are bound to adhere to the orders.
B) Start CPR and ACLS. Do a round of drugs, then call for orders for field termination of resuscitative efforts.
C) Provide all the interventions you can. You have no standing not to.
D) Tell the sister that it is best to let him go.
