End of life care help
Hello! My dad is currently receiving palliative care at home, we don’t have hospice nurses in my country most of them don’t know what needs to be done. He’s on 12mg dexamethasone, 1500mg Kepra. And IV fluids and antibiotics, they told me he need it because they suspect he has an infection. Either pulmonary or UTI. He has a lot of secretions, I can’t tell if he’s having trouble breathing or it’s the normal rattling nurses talk about online.
I managed to get lorezapam and I’m still looking for morphine (it’s scarce in my country and very expensive) but I’m afraid I don’t know which doses to give him, the nurses and doctors here are no use they tell me he’s not grimacing so he’s fine….
If anyone could guide me I would be beyond appreciative.
