Attention Health Care Professionals!! You play a vital role in identifying and assisting with resolution of problems affecting patients with altered mental status. The patient that you treat for altered mental status may be the life you save.
Delirium… Dementia… Psychosis
When facing a patient with altered mental status, no doubt you have caught yourself saying, “What is going on?” It is time to STOP, LISTEN, LOOK and ACT. This seminar dissects altered mental status (AMS), to identify the problem and lead the way to problem resolution. The study of AMS is like taking a combination med-surg and neuropsychiatric course, as one must look at all body systems when evaluating potential causes of AMS.
Every day, patients present with altered mental status in a variety of settings….ED, ICU, med/surg, geriatric, psych units, rehab, long-term care. The list goes on! Connecting the dots and identifying the problem may be life saving for the patient. You will leave with new assessment tools and strategies to alter the course for your patient experiencing an altered mental status condition.
