Answer:
Hey there,
Notify the physician that the client has no vital signs.
The resident has signed a document indicating a wish not to be resuscitated. The nurse should be aware of the resident's "do not resuscitate" status. The nurse should notify the physician so that he or she can pronounce the death and notify the family.
