Can Dilaudid And Morphine Be Taken Together?

Hi. My mother is in a rehab facility. They had ran out her pain medication..so when they received them from pharmacy. They gave her 15mg of morphine and 4mg of dilaudid at the same time. They normally give her dilaudid every 4 hrs and the morphine every 12. I m scared about this. Is this dangerous?
