Liver disease

Liver disease
Bob was a 79 year old father of three adult children who was dying of end stage liver disease. He had been a lifelong alcoholic even though he stopped drinking for a period of 7 years following an acute episode of his alcoholic cirrhosis. Bob and his wife have retired in Florida. Bob was hospitalized with acute onset of GI bleeding no doubt from esophageal varices. Bob’s wife was very attentive visiting him daily. His three children lived in Northern states but came to visit during this hospitalization. Bob was not an outwardly religious guy but had an underlying spirituality that was fairly strong. You are the advance practice palliative care nurse covering for the weekend.
