Advocate for delirious patient

Mary B Pettus was acting as 1:1 sitter for an older adult experiencing delirium on top of suspected dementia. She immediately noticed that patient had increased agitation if not approached gently and advocated to all staff that entered his room. She was also hopeful that she could get patient into bedside chair and out of the bed. She truly exemplified the nonbehavioral treatments for delirium and wish all patients could have a care tech like her!
