It’s difficult to tell whether a person is experiencing delirium or dementia. In this module you will use a case study to practice identifying when someone is experiencing delirium, and the three different forms it can take. This includes applying the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM). Finally, this module discusses predisposing risk factors for delirium, and how to reduce those risk factors in someone’s life.
Within each case study, you will learn about how dementia can impact the ways in which people living with dementia communicate their unmet needs, including those pertaining to sexuality. Myths and stereotypes about sexuality and dementia and the way these perceptions shape our interactions will be explored alongside practical strategies to support people living with dementia.
