Walk a mile in my shoes | Caring for patients at Alexandra Hospital with delirium | I Am Alex

Elderly patients who suffer from dementia are at an increased risk of developing delirium - an altered mental state which leads to a person becoming confused, disorientated, or agitated.
Due to their unpredictable behaviour, it may be challenging to administer care as certain actions such as feeding them medications or doing tests may cause them to be frightened or angry.
