The Arkansas do not resuscitate form is a medical order that directs health care professionals to avoid CPR and other resuscitative measures if a patient stops breathing or does not have a pulse. DNR orders are typically used when a patient has a serious or terminal illness, signifying that the patient wishes to avoid resuscitation.

A DNR order must be signed by a patient’s attending physician.[1]
The patient should also sign the form, or if the patient is a minor, incapacitated, or otherwise unable to sign, their health care proxy, guardian, or other authorized representative can sign.
