Prevention with non-pharmacologic interventions (e.g. frequent reorientation, continued contact with familiar people / family visitations, minimize lines, maintain normal sleep-wake cycle, etc...). No drugs have convincingly been shown to be effective at preventing or treating sundowning (i.e. increased confusion and agitation in the late afternoon and evening, particularly among patients with dementia or other forms of cognitive impairment).
This is just silly. It's comprehensive I agree but doesn't help much. Really *isolated* AMS is a more realistic presentation from a nurse e.g. without deranged vitals, neurological abnormality etc. Most of the above would have other signs/symptoms that nurses would know about, at which point the AMS is no longer the central issue as the title suggests.
