Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) Order
Ensuring that your medical wishes are honored with dignity and respect.
Life’s most important decisions deserve clarity and compassion.
A Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) Order allows you to clearly state your wishes, your right to control your care — with grace, purpose, and confidence.
This directive ensures that healthcare professionals, emergency responders, and loved ones understand and respect your choice to focus on comfort, peace, and quality of life rather than aggressive medical intervention.
What It Is:
A Do-Not-Resuscitate (DNR) Order is a legally recognized medical directive that instructs emergency and healthcare professionals not to perform life-resuscitating measures—such as CPR, defibrillation, assisted ventilation, or cardiac medications—if your heart or breathing stops.
In Nevada, this directive is supported by Assembly Bill 29 (1997) and governed under NRS 449.600 & NRS 450B.410 – 450B.530, allowing qualified patients to apply for official DNR Identification through the state health authority (Southern Nevada Health District).
The DNR ensures your medical choices are known and respected during emergencies—especially when you may not be able to speak for yourself.
Why It’s Important:
✔️ Protects Your Wishes
Guarantees that your healthcare preferences are followed exactly as you intend—preventing unwanted resuscitation attempts.
✔️ Reduces Emotional Stress
Provides clear guidance for your loved ones and emergency personnel, removing uncertainty during critical moments.
✔️ Supports Peaceful Care
Allows EMS and hospital staff to focus on comfort measures and supportive care rather than aggressive medical intervention.
✔️ Honors Dignity at Every Stage
For individuals with terminal or irreversible conditions, a DNR ensures that care remains compassionate and aligned with personal values, faith, and comfort.
✔️ Recognized Statewide
The DNR Identification is officially issued by the Southern Nevada Health District and recognized by emergency medical responders across Nevada.
