Answer 1

The importance of a NFR (Not for Resuscitation) form is to communicate a patient's wish to not receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the event their heart stops or they stop breathing.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is C) Not for Resuscitation. The importance of a NFR (Not for Resuscitation) form is to communicate a patient's wish to not receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the event their heart stops or they stop breathing. This form is typically used for patients who have a medical condition that makes resuscitation unlikely to be successful or for patients who have expressed their preference to forgo resuscitation.
