chosen: No, it is generally not possible to get a Do Not Resuscitate order on an elderly parent without their permission. It is typically required that the individual agree to the decision themselves or through a legal representative, such as a power of attorney. The healthcare provider may initiate legal steps if they believe it is in the patient's best interest and the parent cannot make their own decisions due to their age or other physical or mental health conditions. It is important to note that if the elderly parent is capable of understanding their situation and making their own decisions, a DNR order is typically not accepted. Therefore, it is typically recommended to first check with the parent and have an honest conversation about their wishes.
