DNR stands for what order?

• A. Deadhead
• B. Do Not Resuscitate (order)
• C. Connection or Connecting (Bags or Guests)
• D. Cancelled

Answer: (B)

DNR stands for Do Not Resuscitate. It is a medical directive indicating that CPR or advanced life support should not be attempted if the person stops breathing or their heart stops, unless the directive specifies a different course of action. On a flight, crew follow the passenger’s DNR order in coordination with medical personnel on board and per airline policy, respecting the passenger’s wishes and documenting it appropriately. The other terms are unrelated to medical orders: deadhead is a crew movement term, connection or connecting refers to bags or guests, and cancelled means something is called off.
