What are the code statuses?

The Prehospital Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) Form must be signed by the patient or by the patients legally recognized health care decisionmaker if the patient is unable to make or communicate informed health care decisions.

How does a DNR form work?

Ideally, someone would fill out a do-not-resuscitate form before an emergency occurs. A DNR order allows them to choose not to receive CPR in an emergency. The DNR order informs healthcare providers not to perform CPR if a persons heart stops beating or their breathing stops.
