What if someone starts CPR on a patient with a POLST indicating "Do Not Attempt Resuscitation"?

If a patient's POLST order indicates no CPR, CPR should not be initiated. In the event that CPR is initiated for a person in violation of a POLST with a DNAR order, CPR should be discontinued if no pulse is detectable. This is an example of a situation where all health care providers caring for the patient must be aware of the medical orders for the patient. Facilities should establish policies to manage legal risk in such a situation.
