A 55-year-old woman with colorectal cancer with liver metastasis is admitted to the hospice

A 55-year-old woman with colorectal cancer with liver metastasis is admitted to the hospice with right upper quadrant pain. She is well known to the community palliative care team for this pain, who have been titrating her fentanyl patch in the community. This has not been helpful for her, and taking her PRN IR morphine does not take the pain away.

How would you modify her pain control regimen?
