delirium prevention initiatives

Delirium prevention initiatives focus on reducing the risk of sudden brain changes that cause confusion, often in hospitalized or elderly individuals. These programs include ensuring proper hydration, good nutrition, regular orientation, and effective pain management. They also promote mobility, sleep hygiene, and minimizing unnecessary medications. Family involvement and restating familiar information can help reassure the person. By maintaining a stable environment and addressing medical issues early, these initiatives aim to keep the brain healthy and reduce the chances of delirium developing.
