Nurse Refuses To Give CPR
Loraine Bayless' family must be devastated and may feel somewhat guilty of placing her in a place where they thought the best of care would be provided.

A nurse's refusal to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a dying 87-year-old woman at a California independent living home despite desperate pleas from an emergency dispatcher has prompted outrage across the US and spawned a criminal investigation. Ref. Source 2

CPR Give Refuses Nurse
What happened in this case is almost incredible. Somebody doesn't have to be a professional nurse or a doctor to understand that saving a human life should come before any written protocol. What's the point in having a nurse (who is, by definition, somebody that provides general medical assistance) if no help can come from it?
The reply that came from the director of the living home is even more worrying. Rules above all: if I apply code C, paragraph xyz, I'm allowed to leave people die. Not even the Army follow written codes in such a blind and stupid way.

Nurse Refuses To Give CPR History & Civil Business Politics
This is a case where a person is following the protocol of their job. You have to look at everything in this case. The relatives knew that if thier loved one suffered a medical issue that care could not be given by the staff. What about their employer? How would they really react to a employee going against policy? You also have to look at the job market. Would this person be able to get another job by failing to do as instructed?
I still think it is wrong that they did not help this person. I feel that the relatives of the victim should have thought out where they placed their loved one a bit better.
