I did give it once the nurse before me 2 times but the night nurse gave it every hour. I've only been a nurse 2 years and was questioning myself when I left work. Thank you everyone.
Actively dying hospice pt in LTC facility. Roxanol order for 5mg Q1H PRN. Assesses patient respirations 11 resting quietly eyes closed. Pt didnt moan grimace etc during turning and repostioning Q2H. PRN Levasin given for increased secretioms and frequent mouthcare provided. Oncoming nurse upset because pt didn't get PRN Roxanol. Would anyone have done differently?
