Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A do-not-resuscitate (DNR) order is a medical order that instructs healthcare professionals not to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if a patient's heart or breathing stops. This order is often used for patients who are hospitalized or terminally ill, and who wish to die naturally without undergoing invasive interventions. The other choices, such as a will, health-care proxy, or final instructions, are important for end-of-life planning but do not specifically address resuscitation in the same way as a DNR order.
