  • Calming the Patient with Cognitive Impairment

    1. Caring for a patient who is cognitively impaired can be extremely difficult for not only healthcare professionals but also families and caregivers.

As a nurse, you may encounter an increasing number of patients with cognitive impairment. While medical intervention may be necessary at times, you should understand the types of alternative therapies available that can not only improve cognition but a patient’s overall quality of life, too.
