Exercise 12

Your mother has terminal cancer and is going to a skilled nursing facility. The nursing facility director tells you that they will not accept any patient with a "Do Not Resuscitate" order as that is against their religious beliefs. Should you report this to the State Department of Health? What if your physician said that it was perfectly acceptable behavior, and that if you had a problem with it you should simply go elsewhere?
