delirium prevention

Delirium prevention involves several strategies to maintain a person's mental clarity, especially in vulnerable settings like hospitals. Key measures include ensuring adequate hydration, proper nutrition, and regular physical activity. It's important to create a calm environment with familiar faces and minimal noise. Encouraging sleep and scheduling regular routines can help cognitive function. Additionally, addressing any underlying health issues and minimizing the use of certain medications can reduce the risk of delirium. Engaging patients in conversation and activities also supports their mental engagement, helping to prevent confusion and disorientation.
