Hospice nurse here. Oxygen is optional. All patients desat at end of life and not everyone gets oxygen. Oxygen at end of life isn’t going to make much difference. My orders are generic for oxygen, it says for everyone that they may receive oxygen 2-4L. If it agitated a patient at all I tell families to let it be.

As a hospice nurse of 5 yrs, there’s so much misconception about hospice. Hospice does not mean do not treat!!!

I have known Beth in both a professional and personal level for 20+ years, I absolutely guarantee you that there is much more to this story. She is one of the most kindest, compassionate person I’ve ever met.

She should have left the O2 on and assessed to get him off the bathroom floor and onto a bed/gurney for comfort. She didn’t do the right things IMO… talk about comfort care smh

I only remove oxygen if it is agitating someone. Definetly seen a few people wrap it around themselves. And one thing about me is I'll reach out for a consultation from another nurse or an on-call. For someone with continous oxygen it should have been left on for comfort unless the patient was agitated by the tubing.

This is so incredibly sad and upsetting. Oxygen is absolutely a comfort measure. -RN here, formerly in cardiothoracic ICU, and my own dad passed on hospice from lung cancer with oxygen on.

So I am a former nurse who burnt out several years ago. One of the things that I hated dealing with were other nurses who seem to have zero compassion. After Covid, I developed respiratory issues. I can 1000% tell you that oxygen is comfort care for a lot of people. If I think my pulse ox is dropping at times I can become severely panicked which intern makes it worse. Although generally speaking, I don’t believe in charging nurses in this case, I might make an exception.

Until the patients are legally allowed to ask for "help" with proper documentation of the same, what she did was abus€ at the least. Her joke about documentation would be a lot more gallows humor funny if she hadn't intentionally withheld his comfort treatment O2 after he'd fallen and he'd taken it off himself. Even a DNR/DNI doesn't authorize withholding passive basic treatments like O2. Even my newbie EMTs know that. Any baby clinician knows withholding O2 from a patient with extensive respiratory issues, especially one in hospice for those issues, causes suffering to increase. Her intention was for him to ☠️. She thought about it, accepted that result, and used a method that she knew would result in ☠️. She's lucky she's not looking at 1st or 2nd degree.

As a hospice nurse myself, O2 is used for comfort during the dying process. No qualified hospice nurse would ever remove a comfort measure from a dying patient.

This absolutely broke my heart to hear and is INSANE. As a nurse who’s never worked in hospice & very pro-nurse standpoint as well, I could/would never.

Wrong is wrong. She needs to have her license revoked permanently. Family needs to sue.Totally unacceptable.

Depends on the state….i know Illinois just passed a “right to die” law for hospice patients…but that’s still very different than what this rn did. *I do not diagnose*.

I’m sorry but nasal cannula dose of oxygen is not going to make life or death differences in any patient let alone a hospice one

I don’t feel like it’s gonna cause a big problem. The line you do not cross is pretty clear and to me she crossed it.

There is no way to be pro-nurse in this case. Especially if you are a nurse. I’m a nurse and was horrified by everything reported. Especially since he had pulmonary fibrosis. There is no excuse.

I'm not a hospice nurse but an ICU nurse. So imo this would not have been an issue had she addressed the fall first, reported it, and got him back to bed. The patient could have been placed comfortably in bed, reapply 02, and give comfort meds for the restlessness. If he continued to decomp despite the oxygen then she could have removed 02 and given meds as prescribed. And leaving a patient to die on the floor is heartless and undignified which is the antithesis of hospice. 😭

If there is an order, have to follow. Regardless, why make the patient suffer at the end anyways?? How many other patients did she do this to?
