No, a Living Will does not mean “No Code” or “Do Not Resuscitate” (DNR). If a person is in the hospital and does not wish to be resuscitated in the event of a cardiac and/or respiratory arrest, he/she should discuss this with the attending physicians, so that a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order may be entered into that person’s medical record.
