Needless to say, she died about 48 hours later while I was calling around.

I sure would love to see that chart....

Although, to be factual, it has long been a practise to "snow" those who are imminently dying. And those of us in the field have long agreed with it when we saw it happening.
Because in the old times it was happening to people who were very much approaching death and suffering. There was a common sense to it that we trusted and found to be an act of caring.

Does the term *Snow* mean to over-dose or give increased doses of drugs like Morphine?

I was an RN in my earlier years MarMema. By snowing are you referring to over morphining? I can honestly say, I have never seen A SINGLE PATIENT dehydrated. Every single one of them always had an IV running.
