Discussing a DNR Order in Spanish

Learn Spanish for discussing a DNR order and a more palliative approach to care. We are revisiting a dialogue from our Palliative Care series, where a doctor discusses code status with the daughter of a patient admitted to the hospital with pneumonia. In the first half of this dialogue, the doctor explained CPR. In this second half of the dialogue, the doctor explains that when a person is in a fragile state of health, cardiopulmonary resuscitation often fails to achieve the desired results.LEVEL - ADVANCEDAccess full show notes, the Quizlet set and the PDF for this lesson within our Spanish for Emergencies course! ONE-QUESTION SURVEY: Do you want us to do the podcast totally in Spanish?TimeStampsINTRODUCTION TO THE DIALOGUE 0:39DIALOGUE 1:44VOCABULARYSHOULD WE RESUSCITATE HIM? 3:29 IT MAY NOT HAVE THE DESIRED RESULTS 5:57IT MAY CAUSE HIM HARM 8:10AGGRESSIVE THERAPIES 9:24LESS AGGRESSIVE THERAPIES 10:35WE RETURN TO THE DIALOGUE 12:13CLOSING 14:02Learn More Medical Spanish!This lesson is part of our Palliative Care series.
