Default DNR and 911

I believe the law applies in Fla the same as NY. If EMT responds to a scene they are required to initiate lifesaving measures. If they are responding to a persons home and that person is unresponsive (ie, not breathing &no heartbeat) they are again required to initiate lifesaving measures unless that person has an “in home” DNR form. This is a specific form for use in the home. No other DNR form is accepted
