• the patient withdraws consent and expresses a wish to have CPR. Even if the request is vague or uncertain, paramedics and firefighters will err on the side of life and initiate CPR if there is any question about the validity of the DNR Confirmation Form; • the SDM revokes the DNR Confirmation Form and requests CPR; • a physician or nurse has determined that the plan of treatment has changed and now includes CPR. If the paramedic/firefighter cannot determine whether or not the DNR Confirmation Form is valid, they will err on the side of life and initiate CPR.
