Questions:

1. During COVID-19, best practice guidelines have been adapted to require healthcare providers to pause and consider the potential outcomes of the resuscitation attempt prior to initiating a code. What are your thoughts? Consider ethical, legal, and professional implications.

2. Family presence during resuscitation has significant positive impacts on grieving and coping as supported by research. In response, it is now commonly integrated into policy and practice. Do you think family presence during resuscitation should continue during a pandemic?

3. During intubation, you notice the resident remove their face shield prior to intubation as they state they cannot clearly visualize the airway, thus making intubation difficult. How would you respond in this situation?

4. During a code, personnel are restricted. What challenges should this nurse and healthcare team anticipate with this practice?

5. You are assigned to initiate the intravenous. You cannot palpate any vein using gloves. As obtaining vascular access is essential in this emergent situation, the physician tells the nurse to remove their gloves and palpate the antecubital vein. How should the nurse respond?
