DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) State Guidelines for Medical ID Wearers
A DNR or Do Not Resuscitate request is usually made by the patient or health care power of attorney and allows the medical teams taking care of them to respect the patient’s wishes.
In the U.S. the Patient Self-Determination Act (PSDA) encourages all people to make choices and decisions now about the types and extent of medical care they want to accept or refuse should they become unable to make those decisions due to illness. Some states have specific requirements on how this information is presented. Find your state below.
When unconscious, separated from family or legal documents, an engraved medical ID bracelet or necklace is the most reliable way of making sure your personal wishes are known and acted on by medical providers.
