What are the two types of DNR?
Some examples of different DNR types include: Do not attempt resuscitation (DNAR). This is basically the same as a DNR. Allow Natural Death (AND). This lets providers use treatments that keep you as comfortable as possible. Do not intubate (DNI). Specified DNRs. Comfort care orders.
What is the purpose of a POLST form?
The Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST) form is a written medical order from a physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant that helps give people with serious illnesses more control over their own care by specifying the types of medical treatment they want to receive during serious illness.
Where can I obtain a POLST form?
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.
Is palliative care the same as DNR?
Comfort care (also called symptom management or palliative care) involves keeping the patient comfortable with pain medication and providing palliative (supportive medical) care. A DNR-CC does not mean do not treat. Your doctor can explain the differences in DNR orders.
