Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse in a long-term care facility is preparing an educational program about delirium for newly hired nurses. Which of the following statements should the nurse plan to include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Delirium has an abrupt onset. Delirium is characterized by a sudden and fluctuating change in mental status. This sudden onset is a key feature that distinguishes delirium from other cognitive disorders. The other choices are incorrect because delirium does affect a client's perception of their environment (
A), delirium typically progresses quickly rather than slowly (
B), and delirium often disrupts a client's sleep cycle (
C). By focusing on the abrupt onset of delirium, the nurse can help newly hired nurses recognize this condition promptly and intervene effectively.
