The ABCs of a DNR

By: Anthony J. Enea, Esq.

Do Not Resuscitate Orders (DNRs) are often confused with a different advance directive known as a Health Care Proxy (HCP). A HCP allows you to select someone to make health care decisions for you when you are no longer able to do so yourself. You can either give the agent you select specific written instructions as to your health care wishes and end of life wishes within the HCP or you can give them to your agent verbally

The HCP is generally prepared as part of one’s estate plan by an attorney or it is often given to a patient at the time of admission to the hospital if the patient is competent. An HCP must be signed and dated by the person making the appointment of an agent and must be witnessed by two disinterested individuals over the age of eighteen.

Unlike the HCP, a DNR is a medical order written by the patient’s doctor or a health care provider. It advises all health care providers that the patient does not want Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) if their breathing has stopped. Patients that sign DNRs are generally those that have chronic illnesses, for example, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD) and are prone to pneumonias and respiratory failure, thus requiring resuscitation.
