Скачать или смотреть Are you allowed to Drink or Smoke in Hospice at the End of Life...

The short answer: yes—if safe. Hospice centers comfort and quality of life. If a person wants a cigarette or a drink, the care team’s job is to help them do it as safely as possible: no smoking near oxygen, no driving, no risky situations. The same goes for food. If they want the burger, fries, and a milkshake, this is the time to enjoy it. If they don’t want to eat, that’s okay too. Caregivers: your feelings matter. It’s normal to struggle with watching someone continue habits that may have harmed them. You can set boundaries for your own wellbeing and still support their choices. A few quick notes from the video: DPOA can make decisions when someone isn’t cognitively able; sudden appetite changes can be part of a brief rally; for swallowing issues, think nectar or pudding consistency, prioritize upright positioning, offer ice chips or popsicles for comfort, and never force food or fluids. Hospice is about comfort and safety. Live the time you have in a way that feels like you.

When dealing with any medically related events or medical emergencies, please communicate with your primary health care provider.
