Pathophysiology
Occurs when a person has difficulty understanding a situation or has disordered or unclear thoughts. It can be accompanied by memory loss, disorientation, or the inability to think quickly. May be aggravated by environment changes, such as being admitted to the hospital, or as a result of sundowning (confusion occurring late in the day or at night, that may accompany certain types of dementia.)
