Is a DNR the same as a CPR directive?

A Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order is another kind of advance directive. A DNR is a request not to have cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if your heart stops or if you stop breathing. (Unless given other instructions, hospital staff will try to help all patients whose heart has stopped or who have stopped breathing.)

What is the difference between a POLST and a DNR?

The Provider Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form is a portable medical order that can give patients with advanced serious illness the option to exercise increased control over the treatment they do and do not want to receive at the end of life.

Is a POLST different from an advance directive?

An advance directive is a direction from the patient, not a medical order. In contrast, a POLST form consists of a set of medical orders that applies to a limited population of patients and addresses a limited number of critical medical decisions.

Is a POLST the same as a DNR?

A POLST is more comprehensive than a Do Not Resuscitate order. A DNR is a stand-alone document that tells emergency medical personnel whether to perform CPR if your heart and breathing stop and you are unresponsive. A POLST includes your instructions about whether or not to perform CPR, but it doesnt stop there.

What is the difference between an advance directive and a POLST form?

The POLST form is designed for people who have chronic health conditions and/or those who are seriously ill or medically frail. A POLST is most useful for people who want less than fully aggressive medical treatment in their current health state. Filling out a POLST is voluntary.
