DNR Guidelines for Medical ID Wearers
DNR Guidelines for Medical IDs
A medical ID allows you to communicate your choice when you cannot speak for yourself. A DNR or Do Not Resuscitate order instructs medical providers to withhold CPR in the event your heart stops beating. The formal DNR request is usually made by the patient or health care power of attorney and allows medical teams to respect the patient’s wishes. A formal DNR form and order can be obtained through your health care provider.
