  1. Giving supps to npo, palliative, colostomy patients

    ontariorpn1986 posted a topic in Patient Medications
    Need help with a situation I have a palliative patient who is NPO and off all meds other then comfort measure. She has a colostomy and is literally in her final days. She no longer talks or swollows. Today she has a fever of 39.6C. My Question is: I want to give her an acet supp as its all I have in my palliative kit for a fever however how do I go about this in patient with colostomy? I have mixed reviews from non-scholarly sources and some say do it rectally and it will work providing there is some bowel, others say put it in the colostomy. What is the correct answer? Do I even bother considering she is very palliative?
