| Annotation | It is not uncommon for older people in hospital to have mental health problems. Acute behavioural disturbances may be a presentation of delirium, but it might also be misunderstood by clinical staff; and individuals with specific problems, such as dysphasis or agnosis could be mislabelled as confused. The authors outlines a management approach, and present the role of the liaison nurse in the psychogeriatric team. (RH). |
