Select Pharmacy hospice comfort kits may include medications to treat pain, anxiety, nausea, insomnia, and breathing problems. A comfort kit may include the following medications:

• Ativan (Lorazepam) – to treat anxiety, nausea, or insomnia
• Morphine liquid – to treat pain and shortness of breath

• Fleet enema – to treat constipation if other treatments are ineffective

Once the medications have been properly designed and formulated, the hospice pharmacy will deliver the comfort kit to the patient’s home.

At the patient’s home, a hospice nurse will explain the purpose of each medication and demonstrate how to administer them. The hospice nurse will regularly count and monitor medications during visits to ensure the patient has adequate supply at home.

Tips for Using a Comfort Kit

The hospice comfort kit should be stored in an easy-to-remember place, such as in cabinets above the refrigerator. This way, during an emergency, hospice staff and family members know exactly where the kit is located and don’t need to waste precious time searching for it. As a trusted hospice pharmacy in Pomona, we recommend storing the hospice comfort kit in a locked box, out of reach of children and pets.
