If a DNR was in place there would be no attempt to revive the individual.

And yes the DNR has to be on the yellow form. The most frequent use of DNR is when someone is truly at end of life as in hospice or similar situation.

I am sure there may be variations in individual living wills, but I thought I would pass along what I learned about it.
