'Do not resuscitate' orders A type of advance directive that should be considered separately from others is a 'do not resuscitate' order. State law requires that paramedics always resuscitate a patient unless the individual is wearing a do not resuscitate (DNR) bracelet and has an order signed by a physician to emergency medical service providers. A DNR order, which can be rescinded, can be given to people only if they are at least 18 years old have a terminal condition are not pregnant have a medical condition in which resuscitation after a cardiac or respiratory failure would not be successful in restoring function, would cause significant harm or pain, and would only be temporarily successful.
