Paediatric Nurses’ Decision-Making About CPR in Challenging Clinical Scenarios
This study explored paediatric nurses’ decision-making regarding resuscitation in patients with unequivocal signs of death and no Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order.

This suggests that it is the necessity for and experience of, HSCT itself that foments …
