Is a No CPR (DNR) form a way to refuse consent in advance?
Written by Joanne on April 1, 2015
Categories: Health Care Consent, Personal Planning, Representation AgreementsNo. The Ministry of Health and Doctors of BC (formerly BCMA) publish a no-Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation form that family physicians can use to record their conversation with a patient. It is not a legal document and is not a consent. It is referred to as a physician’s order and is based on an old approach used before the health care consent legislation came into effect.

Fraser Health Authority uses a form called Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment (MOST), which is another type of physician’s order. Read about the MOST form in a previous post.
A Representation Agreement is the key legal document in BC to cover giving and refusing consent for health care and personal care. You can make a Representation Agreement to authorize a representative to assist you or to act on your behalf if you are not capable of informed consent.
