Two family members are visiting their father who is experiencing acute delirium. They are upset that their father is so disoriented. “He knows who we are, but that's about it. We don't know what to say to him.” What should the nurse tell the family? Select all that apply.
1. “Answer his questions simply, honestly, slowly, and clearly.”
2. “Correct him when he is hearing and seeing things that are not there.”
3. “Occasionally remind him of the time, day, and place when he doesn't remember.”
4. “Include him in your conversation, instead of talking about him while he is present.”
5. “Raise your voice a bit so you are sure he hears you.”
