if patients are placed on DNRs, Do Not Resuscitate, it is my understanding that food, and more importantly, water is withheld or may be withheld as part of the protocol. I have read this is the case in some hospices now. Withholding water can cause or exacerbate kidney issues. ~ GRB -- and just in case this is not clear, withholding hydration is torture.
