How Long Does .5ml Of Morphine Last
Updated

I gave the lady I take care of .5ml of morphine while her nurse was there because she was in pain from being moved so much (she cant move on her own) and her daughter is accusing me almost two weeks later of "drugging" her because she had become really tired and hadnt been eating much (she was refusing and turning her head away). I was curious about how long that much would have effected her?

No, while it may last a bit longer than usual in elderly people, since their bodies sometimes process medications slowly, it would not last almost 2 weeks.
As a matter of fact, this Research Article shows that the processing of Morphine is not affected by being elderly, so a dose for her shouldn't last any longer than it does for a younger, healthy person.
Is she on any other medications? Are you authorized to give her medications?
