In the US, a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order cannot be placed on an elderly parent without their permission. An advance directive that includes a DNR order must be signed by the individual in advance and they must also have the capacity to make medical decisions when it is time for the order to be put into place. Depending on the state, a legally valid DNR order must be in accordance with state law and must also adhere to the specific hospital policy and protocol. As such, a DNR order cannot be placed without consent.
