What must accompany a live patient with a DNRO during transport?

The presence of a copy of the DNRO (Do Not Resuscitate Order) form or an identification device is essential during the transport of a live patient with a DNRO. This documentation is crucial as it provides legal confirmation of the patient's wishes regarding resuscitation efforts. Emergency medical personnel rely on this documentation to ensure they adhere to the patient's directives and avoid potentially conflicting situations where there may be uncertainty about the patient's care preferences.

In the absence of a DNRO form or an identification device, the healthcare team might be compelled to initiate resuscitation efforts, which goes against the patient's wishes. Therefore, having the proper documentation directly supports the patient's autonomy and ensures respect for their healthcare decisions throughout the transport process.
