Do Not Resuscitate
Almost everyone has heard of a do not resuscitate
DNR it’s the order for healthcare providers not to perform CPR
On a victim of cardiac arrest DNR orders are unique in medicine
Making CPR it’s the only one medical that requires an order not an order not to administer it.
Like any other complicated medical care in the United States,
Application on varies from state to state some states have
Standardized forms for DNR orders if the order is not written
On that specific form, cannot be honored on other states are less regimented, honoring any type of DNR order DNR ORDERS RULES
-------------------------------------------------
Many states allow emergency responders to follow DNR orders
Written to other care providers, even if they aren’t written on
Standardized form. Paramedics and emergency technicians are usually allowed to follow DNR orders written for the staff of a nursing home regardless DNR orders almost always follow the same general rules to be valid. Orders must be written by physicians rather than verbalized written DNR orders must include de patient’s name. For them not to confused following this order with the wrong patient would be disastrous. As well DNR orders must be dated orders may expired after a certain amount of time even if a DNR order doesn’t expired, a particularly old order may prompt caregivers
To revisit the decision with patients
MAKING A DNR ORDER WORKS FOR YOU? If you or a loved one has a DNR and you want the order to be honored outside of the hospital, keep the physical order on hand
And display it very conspicuously wherever rescuers might find you (or the patient) and it’s a good idea to have more than one
Copy available and displayed, some sort of identification jewelry may be helpful there is foundations that provide it and the foundation keeps a copy of the order on file and are capable of faxing it anywhere world
