What Causes Difficult In Passing Urine And Stools In An Alzheimer S Patient?

My father is an Alzheimer s patient. He has been suffering for the last 7 years. Now he is in hospital, as he has not passed urine and has difficulty in passing stools. However he sweats profusely and has shivering. The doctor has said that he is in the last stage. He is being given aricep, ativan, admenta, oleanz, oleanz plus, encorate tablets. The recent development is he is refusing to open his mouth to eat or drink. Can you help me make life better for my father? It is sad to see him suffer this way.
