    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and analysis of professional statements.
    • Discussion of ethical considerations in end-of-life care.
    • Guidance for healthcare practitioners on policy development.

    Main Results:

    • The BMA and RCN statement provides a framework for CPR decisions.
    • Nurses face ethical challenges navigating DNR orders.
    • Implicit acceptance of frameworks may not align with ethical practice.

    Conclusions:

    • Health practitioners should actively use the CPR statement to develop hospital policies.
    • Critical engagement with professional guidelines is essential for ethical nursing practice.
    • Nurses' right to a dignified death is intrinsically linked to end-of-life care policies.
