Benzodiazepines in palliative care

70 year old pancreatic cancer patient, unclear what stage, but receiving chemo/surgery for it. Also on fentanyl patch and oxycodone IR TID 5mg. Whats your overall policy with benzos in palliative care with a patient already on opioids? Are you more lenient, if patients respiratory function is being monitored?
