A Primary Care Paramedic (PCP) responds to a residential address for a patient in cardiac arrest. During resuscitation efforts, a family member asks the paramedic if their uncle has a Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) directive on file that restricts resuscitation. How should the paramedic manage this request on scene?

Cease resuscitation efforts immediately based on the family member's verbal query. Continue resuscitation unless presented with a valid, written Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) confirmation form. Call dispatch to query the provincial database for any electronic health records containing a PHIPA directive. Instruct the family member to contact the medical director directly while halting chest compressions.

Correct Answer:

Continue resuscitation unless presented with a valid, written Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) confirmation form.
