Question: Are we allowed to accept photocopied DNR? I have heard several discrepancies on this question.

 Yes, you are allowed to accept a photocopied DNR, as long as it is a photocopy of a valid DNR: with all required fields completed prior to the copy being made.  For full details on the mandatory completed fields please see the DNR standard bulletin on our website:
