Mrs. W is a 81-year-old woman with recurrent colon cancer with liver metastases admitted to the hospital for chemotherapy. Because of her poor prognosis, you approach her about a DNR order, but she requests to be "a full code."
Can you write a DNR order anyway

No you can't,because competent patients have the right to refuse to consent to a needed test or procedure for religious or other reasons even if their health will suffer or death will result from such refusal.
