In ca, if a patient's advanced directive says dnr, but the patient verbally states desire for resuscitation at hospital admission. what will happen?

Family pract: A patient is always able to change his mind. A medical dr has to write the order. There are partial dnr orders as well. There is medications given, antibiotics, blood transfusion , intubation, and cpr. You can tell your dr that you want certain ones or all performed if you stop breathing or heart stops .Continued yes you can change your code status while in the hospital and change back when home.

Most recent is right: An advanced directive is just a statement of someone's wishes in the event of a serious illness. Wishes can change. The most recent and clear statement of intent is the one that counts. But it can't be some relative interpreting the patient's intent for them. The reason you need advanced directives is if the situation arises where a dnr is needed, the patient is usually too out of it to change it.
