A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who is experiencing delirium. Which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend?
Explanation & Rationale
A) Too many choices can be overwhelming and lead to increased frustration or "decision fatigue" for a confused client. B) Delirium is characterized by an acute, fluctuating change in mental status. Reorientation helps anchor the client to reality and can reduce the anxiety or agitation associated with cognitive clouding. C) Ignoring a client's fears can increase their sense of isolation and paranoia. Acknowledging feelings while gently correcting misconceptions is more therapeutic. D) Consistency is key. Frequent changes in staff increase confusion; it is better to have the same nursing team to build familiarity.
