    Delirium In Nursing

    Delirium is a state of acute confusion and disturbance in mental abilities that results in confused thinking and reduced awareness of the environment. It is often left untreated due to the lack of ability of medical professionals to identify signs and symptoms and distinguish it from other similar conditions such as depression or dementia. Understanding the three types of delirium can assist the medical staff in establishing appropriate care for those patients. These types are (a) hyperactive, which entails physical aggressiveness and agitation; (b) hypoactive, in which the patient has poor response and limited activity; and (c) mixed, which is a combination of the two (Lin, W. L., Chan, Y. F., & Wang, J. (2015).
