Brief Summary: The purpose of the research is to determine how the language used when discussing preferences about cardiopulmonary resuscitation CPR affects decisions regarding this code status
Detailed Description: Most Americans express a preference for dying at home naturally and surrounded by loved ones However many also believe that cardiopulmonary resuscitation CPR is more effective than it is and want to have CPR even when the chances for a good outcome is poor Among other reasons the alternative term Do Not Resuscitate or DNR has been shown in the literature to be associated by patients with passive sub-optimal and low quality care

This study will attempt to determine patient preference for the no CPR term on patients admitted to the hospital using alternate phrasing During admission to the Medical Teaching Service patients over the age of 65 who are able to consent and who are not critically illunstable will be approached After checking brief background questions such as if they ever had discussions like these before they will be randomized into two groups and asked code status using one of the two phrases This question will determine the patients code status asking for this is a routine part of hospitalized care that is required by law the exact terminology is left to the care team After determining the patients code status they will be asked how satisfied they were with the decision the investigator will be asked if they agree with the decision separately Demographic and clinical information will be collected Six months later the patient will be contacted again at this time they will be asked about recent life and health changes Finally they will be asked their code status one more time This will conclude the participants involvement in the study
