FAQ
A POLST is more comprehensive than a “Do Not Resuscitate” order. A DNR is a stand-alone document that tells emergency medical personnel whether to perform CPR if your heart and breathing stop and you are unresponsive.

Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions This is a signed, dated, and witnessed paper naming another person (such as a husband, wife, daughter, son, or close friend) as your “agent” or “proxy” to make medical decision for you if you should be unable to make them for yourself.
The POLST form is not valid until it is signed by you (or if you are not able, your appropriate decisionmaker) AND your physician/nurse practitioner/physician assistant. A POLST form does NOT replace an advance directive.
