What is a DNR Order?
Definition of DNR
A Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order, also known as a Do Not Attempt Resuscitation (DNAR), is a medical order that documents a patient's wishes to not receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the event of cardiac or respiratory arrest.
Legal Basis
DNR orders are legally recognized and must be signed by a physician at the patient's request. They are intended to respect a patient's autonomy and right to make decisions about their own healthcare.
