Lecture Overview

You have just arrived for your shift, received handover, and are caring for someone who is agitated with delirium or dementia. Take a second to stop and think: is there another reason they are experiencing outbursts of agitation? Could there be some other underlying reason beyond their illness? Using case studies, this session will encourage you to rewind and take a trauma-informed approach to situations like this one.
