Aside from the cost associated with its use, I love PDFfiller! It is easier to use than the typewriter function in Adobe Acrobat and I could place text exactly where I needed it. One other recommendation is adding a spell check when finishing up the document. Respectfully, -RPS

Does a DNR have to be notarized?

What makes a valid DNR?
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., CPR and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) will not be performed if a valid written "DNR" order is present.
Do DNR forms expire?
DNR orders must be dated. Depending on the state, orders may expire after a certain amount of time or there may be a deadline for the physician to follow-up. Even if a DNR order doesn't expire, a particularly old order may prompt caregivers to revisit the decision with patients.
Can you sign a DNR if you're healthy?

You can use an advance directive form or tell your doctor that you don't want to be resuscitated. Your doctor will put the DNR order in your medical chart. Doctors and hospitals in all states accept DNR orders.
Can a family member rescind a DNR?
Due to illness or injury, you may not be able to state your wishes about CPR. In this case: If your doctor has already written a DNR order at your request, your family may not override it. You may have named someone to speak for you, such as a health care agent.
Can a DNR order be rescinded?
The DNR/DNAR order may only be rescinded by the attending physician/provider, in consultation with the patient or designated health care agent(s). H. The DNR/DNAR order itself should be clearly documented and communicated. The DNR order is again in full force when the patient leaves the surgical operatory.
Can you change your mind about a DNR?
You always have the right to change your mind and request that CPR be administered during a medical emergency. If you change your mind, you should inform your physician and nurse immediately so that your DNR order may be revoked. You also should inform your family and other caregivers of the change in your decision.
Can a healthy person sign a DNR?
Generally, the DNR is signed by the doctor as part of the medical treatment plan. Because it is a real-time medical order, a DNR would typically not be in place for a healthy person who would likely wish to be resuscitated.
How old can you be to sign a DNR?
Any person 18 years of age or older can prepare an advance directive.
What happens if you do CPR on someone with a DNR?
If you attempt resuscitation on a person who has a valid DNR order, you open yourself up to lawsuit by the estate (read: family) of the person with the DNR order, especially if the attempt is successful and they are indeed brought back to life.
What happens if you give CPR to someone who doesn't need it?
If a person is unresponsive with no pulse or breathing and you do CPR, you can still cause all this damage, but a person with no breathing and no pulse is dead, clinically and legally. So, by all means, if someone is unconscious and not breathing, and you don't think they have a pulse, by all means perform CPR.
