The answer is C: DNR.

Explanation for each option:

A. CPR - This stands for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, which is a life-saving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. It is not what would be on the cover of a patient's chart if they do not want to be resuscitated.

B. NPO - This stands for "nil per os," a medical instruction meaning to withhold oral food and fluids from a patient. It is unrelated to resuscitation preferences.

C. DNR - This stands for "Do Not Resuscitate." It is a medical order indicating that a patient does not want to undergo CPR or other life-saving measures if their heart stops or they stop breathing. This is the correct option for what would be on the cover of a patient's chart in this scenario.

D. Stop - This is not a standard medical term or order related to resuscitation preferences.

In summary, the correct answer is C: DNR, as it directly relates to a patient's wish not to be resuscitated.
