Prior to the arrival of emergency medical services (EMS),
nursing homes must provide basic life support, including initiation
of CPR, to a resident who experiences cardiac arrest (cessation of
respirations and/or pulse) in accordance with that resident's
advance directives or in the absence of advance directives or a Do
Not Resuscitate (DNR) order. CPR- certified staff must be available
at all times.
