Up to the patient: If the patient is awake , alert, and oriented , then it is up to the patient to decide. Otherwise it is up to the health care proxy, not the institution.

Up to you.: It's your life, its up to what you would like. Just because you may be in a nursing home, that doesn't mean you have to be dnr. Yes, sometimes ribs get broken with cpr, but that's a small price to pay if it means living. Full code is not inhumane. Have a talk with your primary doctor and go over these issues that way you have a professional perspective on it. Then decide what you would like.
