Delirium is a state of acute confusion and cognitive impairment that can cause disorientation and difficulty with time perception. Reminding the client of the day and time frequently helps provide orientation and reduce confusion. It can help ground the client in reality and improve their understanding of their current circumstances.

Avoiding discussing the client's fears can hinder their ability to express and address their concerns. It is important to provide a safe and supportive environment where the client can communicate their fears and feelings.

Offering the client several choices at mealtimes might be overwhelming and confusing for someone experiencing delirium. It is generally better to provide structure and simplicity in their meal options, reducing decision-making demands.

Alternating daily caregivers can disrupt continuity of care and increase the client's confusion. Consistency in the caregiving team can help establish a therapeutic relationship and familiarity, which can aid in managing delirium.
