There is a simple solution. Your spouse doesn’t want to be resuscitated. Once no pulse is detected, sit with your loved one, honor their wishes. Retrieving any paperwork, no matter the state.

Then call 911, it can be hard to not honor wishes but it’s still the choice of the person still breathing, not the one who can no longer respond.
