What does DNR stand for in a medical context?

Do Not Resuscitate
Direct Medical Response
Daily Nutritional Requirement
Dangerous Nutritional Reaction

The correct answer is: Do Not Resuscitate

In a medical context, DNR stands for "Do Not Resuscitate." This designation indicates that a patient has expressed a wish not to receive life-saving measures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or advanced cardiac life support in the event of cardiac arrest or respiratory failure. The DNR order is an important part of advanced care planning, allowing patients to have a say in their medical treatment during critical situations where resuscitation might be attempted. It is crucial for healthcare providers to respect the wishes documented in a DNR order to ensure that the individual's preferences regarding their end-of-life care are honored. This understanding is vital for corrections officers and other first responders, as recognizing and adhering to DNR orders can prevent unnecessary interventions that the patient would not want.
