<unk>  and<unk>  are common terms in the United States, Canada, and New Zealand. This may be expanded in some regions with the addition of DNI (Do Not Intubate). In some hospitals<unk>  alone will imply no intubation, though 98% of intubations are unrelated to cardiac arrest; most intubations are for pneumonia or surgery. Clinically, the vast majority of people requiring<unk> on will require intubation, making a DNI alone problematic. Hospitals sometimes use the expression no code, which refers to the jargon term code, short for Code Blue, an alert to a hospital's<unk> on team. If a patient does want to be<unk> d, their code status may be listed as full code (the opposite of<unk> . If the patient only wants to be<unk> d under certain conditions, this is termed partial code. Some areas of the United States and the United Kingdom include the letter A, as in DNAR, to clarify "Do Not Attempt<unk> on". This alteration is so that it is not presumed by the patient or family that an attempt at<unk> on will be successful. As noted above in Less care for<unk>  patients, the word "resuscitation" has grown to include many treatments other than CPR, so<unk>  has become ambiguous, and authors recommend "No CPR" instead. In the United Kingdom the preferred term is now DNACPR, reflecting that<unk> on is a general term which includes cardiopulmonary<unk> on as well as, for example, the administration of intravenous fluid. Since the term<unk>  implies the omission of action, and therefore "giving up", a few authors have advocated for these orders to be retermed Allow Natural Death. Others say AND is ambiguous whether it would allow morphine, antibiotics, hydration or other treatments as part of a natural death. New Zealand and Australia, and some hospitals in the UK, use the term NFR or Not For<unk> on. Typically these abbreviations are not punctuated, e.g.,<unk>  rather than D.N.R.<unk> on orders, or lack thereof, can also be referred to in the United States as a part of Physician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (POLST), Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment (MOLST), Physician's Orders on Scope of Treatment (POST) or Transportable Physician Orders for Patient Preferences (TPOPP) orders, typically created with input from next of kin when the patient or client is not able to communicate their wishes. Another synonymous term is "not to be<unk> d" (NTBR). Until recently in the UK it was common to write "Not for 222" or conversationally, "Not for twos". This was implicitly a hospital<unk>  order, where 222 (or similar) is the hospital telephone number for the emergency<unk> on or crash team (NB: in 2004 the internal telephone number for cardiac arrests in all UK hospitals was standardised to 2222, and the same standardisation occurred across the whole EU in 2015). Current UK practice is for<unk> on recommendations to be standalone orders (such as DNACPR) or embedded within broader emergency care and treatment plans (ECTPs), such as the Recommended Summary Plan for Emergency Care and Treatment (ReSPECT).
