You got a lot more going on here than just that PICC!
These folks are frequently not all here mentally, and behaviors are a problem
until they're VERY ill. They get VERY ill VERY quickly, as well.
There will be monitoring, dietary control is very important and they rarely
adhere to the diet. They need to have their ammonia med given often, and
often measurement of the ascites and reporting it to the physician is
ordered. The liver failure usually brings intense itching, and the skin
needs frequent lotion, and is the liver can take it, meds for the itching.
Usually, by the time they reach this state, they're just a little bit a way from
going to sleep and not waking up. In any event, you could skill him on
medicare just on the basis of the nursing management, the management of the
oxygen to keep him above 90% (or whatever your order says) and preparation
of the care plan, but doubt he'd live long enough to actually use his Medicare
days.
