Meds, reorientation: Delirium is a common occurrence I encounter in the hospital, especially with older patients. I encourage frequent reorientation, avoid constipation, treating the underlying condition that triggered the delirium, and sometimes requires medications (like haldol (haloperidol) or risperdal) to treat it.
