Delirium: Recognizing, Reporting,
and Responding for Quality Care
Georgia L. Stevens, PhD, APRN, BC
(3 tape series)

Acute confusion or delirium is frightening for both residents and staff. Yet, even doctors and nurses can easily miss it. With proper training, the nursing assistant, who knows residents on an individual basis, may be the first person to recognize this reversible problem. Unrecognized and untreated, it poses risks for residents, burdens staff, and can harm the reputation of the facility. This three tape series of interactive discussion will help your team avoid poor practices and outcomes.
