I remember my Dad, in his last day conscious, with a fluid line in that kicked off some sort of pressure alert every time he raised his hand to his face… which he did compulsively because of his confusion on top of his dementia.

The nurses obviously couldn’t respond to it each time, but nor could they switch it off altogether, and it didn’t reset after any period of time.

My siblings and I took turns to gently hold his arm down on the side of the bed… which became just holding his hand, which I still miss.
