A DNR is a signed medical order written by a doctor. • DNR stands for Do Not Resuscitate and tells health care providers and emergency medical personnel not to do CPR on your older adult if they stop breathing or if their heart stops beating. • The DNR is only a decision about CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). • It doesn’t affect any other treatments, such as pain medicine, other medicines, or nutrition. • (For doctor’s orders about other end-of-life treatments, your older adult may want a POLST.) • We explain why your older adult might want a DNR, the difference between a pre-hospital and a hospital DNR, how to get a DNR, and how to make sure it’s easily accessible in case of an emergency. • See the full article at https://dailycaring.com/what-is-a-dnr... • Shop recommended products at https://www.amazon.com/shop/dailycaring • About Us • DailyCaring is the best online resource for families caring for older adults with Alzheimer's, dementia, or chronic health conditions.
