Managing disruptive responses to bathing by elderly residents. Strategies for the cognitively impaired
Abstract:
1. Persons with altered cognition are more prone to display inappropriate behaviors because of decreased ability to accurately interpret environmental cues, and increased frustration in combination with reduced inhibition. 2. Disruptive and agitated behaviors are commonly associated with the provision of assistance with activities of daily living, particularly bathing and dressing. 3. A preventive approach intended to reduce the occurrence of distress and disruptive behaviors in cognitively impaired residents during showering and bathing respects long-standing routines and preferences of the patient.
