Abstract

This is the fourth article in a series which looks at how nurses in acute units can manage the behaviour problems presented by people with dementia. This month, the focus is on aggression, a topic which causes nurses extreme concern. The author discusses some of the precipitating factors which can cause a person with dementia to become aggressive while in hospital, then sets out some appropriate management strategies.
