01:03
We are ventilating with also giving a dual nub, and no, he is not responding to us verbally.
01:16
Usually does.
01:19
So his baseline is the fact that he does not verbalize? I'm confused with your report.

Your closest facility, and (name withheld) says she has a DNR, but she doesn't know what kind.
02:13
She didn't have the paperwork, so we're treating as full code.
