DNR
No revival order
DNR is an abbreviation with two common meanings.
In medical contexts, it stands for "do not resuscitate"—a directive that emergency responders should not attempt to revive a patient whose heart or breathing has stopped: The patient had a DNR order on file.
DNR also stands for Department of Natural Resources, a state agency managing wildlife, parks, and public lands: The DNR stocked the lake with trout.
