Legal Implications and Ethical Considerations of “Do Not Resuscitate”
Vincent Ober, MD Cynthia L. Cambron, Esq. 2-3-1 A DNR order is a physician order that instructs health care professionals that a patient is not to receive any, or only limited, resuscitative efforts in the event the patient’s heart stops beating or the patient stops breathing. A DNR can be ordered by a physician when it is expressly requested by the patient or, if a patient is unable to express his or her wishes, by the patient’s surrogate or proxy. Florida law provides that a DNR order is only to be entered 1) when the patient is capacitated and specifically requests an order during a particular hospitalization or 2) when the patient is incapacitated without the possibility of recovering capacity, i.e., in a terminal condition, an end-stage condition, or a persistent vegetative state.
