How can I help a person with delirium be independent?

The person should do as much as possible on their own. They may need some assistance in becoming independent. The person should:

• Understand their care plan: Consider getting an interpreter if there are language barriers.
• Be involved in their treatment: Encourage them to ask their provider any questions they may have.
• Get support devices: They should use eyeglasses and hearing aids to promote good vision and hearing so they can communicate better.
• Get out of bed: During the day, the person should be out of bed as much as possible. Help them sit in a chair during mealtimes or walk when possible.
