Who needs a DNR? People with terminal illnesses who are suffering are appropriate candidates for a DNR. Elderly patients who have serious medical conditions may also be good candidates. Importantly, patients without a terminal illness should not sign a DNR agreement without careful consideration.
The DNR guides Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers and can give EMS permission not to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), whereas a POLST might include a DNR instruction regarding CPR, but provides more instructions regarding additional medical interventions.
Generally, a DNR is executed when an individual has a history of chronic disease or terminal illness, such as chronic lung disease or heart disease, that has in the past or may in the future necessitate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and the patient no longer wishes to be revived because of concerns that the use
Like a DNR, a POLST form lets EMS know whether or not the patient wants CPR. DNR orders only apply when a person does not have a pulse, is not breathing and is unresponsive. However, in most medical emergencies, a person does have a pulse, is breathing or is responsive. Thats where POLST is different.
A Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order focuses only on a persons preference to not receive cardiopulmonary resuscitation if they stop breathing or their heart stops beating. The DNR does not address other medical treatments. A POST form typically covers preferences for a wider range of treatments, including CPR.

Can a Healthy Person Get a DNR? While do-not-resuscitate orders are commonly sought by aging and terminally ill patients, it is possible for a healthy person to get a DNR. In fact, many doctors have their own DNRs in place. But while most states will allow any adult to establish a DNR, its not always a good idea.
Just as with DNR orders, family members generally cannot override a patient- and physician-signed POLST order. Accordingly, all efforts should be made to get patients, families, and providers on the same page before an acute event, to prevent confusion about the plan of care and distress for families and providers.
A POLST form is neither an advance directive nor a replacement for advance directives. However, both advance directives and POLST forms are helpful advance care planning documents for communicating patient wishes when appropriately used.
