It’s very common and also normal for people to feel like they caused the death of their person by giving that less dose of medication. You didn’t. There’s always going to be a last dose. #hospice #hospicenurse #education
Palliative sedation is essentially sedating a hospice patient with medication until they’re natural de@Th. It is done rarely but it is something we can resort to if someone has extreme symptoms that cannot be managed in any other way. Usually it is provided when someone has terminal agitation. #hospice #hospicenurse #education #palliative
Some people call it a ham sandwich. I call it the best damn combination of medication’s for easing the suffering of a hospice patient ever. It doesn’t make them di€ faster, it makes them di€ better. #hospice #hospicenurse #education
Sometimes it’s just to hard for people to change their code status to do not resuscitate. So when they’ve met their end, the family takes matters into their own hands and lets them go in peace. #hospice #hospicenurse #education #onthisday
