Patient Eduction
Maintain a daily routine – keep a regular schedule for sleeping, eating and other normal activities.
Involve the patient in daily exercise to help maintain a healthy body and reduce aches and pains, which can cause agitation and lead to wandering.
Reassure patients that they are safe and remind them where they are. For example, “You’re in your favorite chair watching baseball on TV. This is a good place to be.”
Avoid busy, crowded settings, such as shopping malls, loud sporting events or grocery stores that can be disorienting.
