A medical order instructing healthcare providers not to perform CPR if your heart stops.
Different from a living will or POLST. A DNR is a medical order signed by a physician. Without one in your chart, paramedics will perform CPR — which on a frail older adult often breaks ribs and rarely results in meaningful recovery. Make the decision before the moment forces it on someone else.
