No; use "a".
If the script says hospice, it should be for a hospice patient.
The word "hospice" should not be capitalized unless it is part of a proper noun or at the beginning of a sentence. In general usage, "hospice" is considered a common noun and should be written in lowercase. However, if it is part of a specific organization's name, such as "Sunshine Hospice," then it should be capitalized.
Before I use such a sentence, let me clarify what the word hospice is. Hospice is actually an adjective and a noun when used as a proper noun, describing what type of care a person will receive. An example of one such sentence is: the doctor gave the terminally ill patient a referral for hospice care.

If in hospice, IVs are used for morphine drips, and that is about all.

Spiriva (tiotropium) is a long-acting anticholinergic medication primarily used for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. In hospice care, the decision to use Spiriva should be based on the individual patient's symptoms and goals of care. If a patient has significant respiratory distress and potential benefit from improved airflow, it may be considered. However, the focus in hospice is typically on comfort and quality of life, so the use of Spiriva should align with the patient's wishes and overall care plan.
