A Do Not Resuscitate order is actually quite an outdated name, and is considered inaccurate. It is now better know as an Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CNACPR) order. Only a doctor can make this order, but they can include it as part of an Advance Decision to refuse treatment (ADRT), or Living Will, after consulting with you. A CNACPR on its own is technically not legally binding, however, as part of a Living Will, it is.
