While the definition of DNR might seem straightforward, its interpretation in clinical practice can be complicated, according to the new research, led by Patricia A. Kelly, DNP, APRN, AGN-BC, AOCN, of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas, and Kathy A. Baker, PhD, APRN, ACNS-BC, FCNS, FAAN, of Harris College of Nursing and Health Sciences at Texas Christian University.
Differing perceptions of DNR orders may lead to unintended consequences
Do-not-resuscitate orders have been a part of healthcare for more than 40 years. Published guidelines define DNR in terms of deciding to withhold CPR only, however, studies have shown healthcare providers and patients may be confused about the meaning and implications of DNR orders. An American Nurses Association position statement (PDF link) emphasizes that patients with do-not-resuscitate orders must not be abandoned, nor should these orders lead to any diminishment in quality of care.

90 Mostly Far-Left Muslims Are Running for Political Office
April 25, 2018
Donald Trump’s so-called travel ban which is NOT a travel ban of Muslims has motivated some 90, mostly far-left, Muslims to run for office and most are Democrats [so far, we could only find far-left Democrats]. They are also motivated by a far-left community organizer named Nadeem Mazen.
CNN, and other outlets, blatantly lied about the ban, and what follows is one example of how they distorted the truth: “[the travel ban] which temporarily kept immigrants from seven predominantly Muslim nations from entering the US”.
The truth is the travel ban is a temporary ban on TERROR nations, not Muslims, and it is meant to last until the government can get the vetting right.
