I'm not completely sure what you are asking. The DNR lets you say exactly what care you would want and what you would not want. Generally CPR is the main thing but it will also address feeding tubes, ventilator support, keeping your body going if your brain has ceased to function. I have had one for a long time because honestly after working in a place where many people I treated had been given CPR and did not have a good quality of life I was not interested in CPR. I also saw a family member who was given CPR after an unknown time without vitals and his outcome was pretty sad.
You need both a advance directive and a designated power of attorney to have it really work well; the POA is to follow your instructions if anything happens.
You can add to the forms I think if you want anything specific. I made sure everyone knew to donate my body to the hospital that has treated me and to donate any possible organs as well (well before my body actually).
Does that help?
