Husband and I take night shifts, one on and the other gets to sleep in the den away from the noise. She doesn't have a UTI and has some form of bm daily. Was "cleaned out "at rehab due to constant bowel obsession. Have limited fluids from afternoon. Rarely urinates at night, only a dribble, states she has to force it. Her commode is in her room, as she has trouble walking to bathroom 20 feet away. Needs to be supervised due to falls in rehab/ unsteady gait, confusion on using walker. Have given Miralax every other day and is on a stool softener due to her hx in past of "digging herself out". Concerned about a sedative to help sleep through for increase risk of falls/confusion. Hey, I could take them instead and sleep through my shift!
I would also suggest supervision to prevent “digging” as she could scratch herself and that could lead to infection.
