Fick, PhD, RN, GCNS-BC, AGSF, FGSA, FAAN","doi":"10.3928/00989134-20240416-01","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3928/00989134-20240416-01","url":null,"abstract":"<h2>Introduction</h2><p><i>Mrs. Frank was an 84-year-old nursing home resident who was diagnosed with dementia 2 years before entering the facility. She was active in the nursing home, participating in recreational therapy activities, and had a good rapport with staff. One morning the certified nursing assistant (CNA) noticed she had developed a cough, was sleeping more, and not eating as much. She also did not want to go to her usual exercise class. The CNA let the RN know that Mrs. Frank was not herself and that she was worried she might be developing delirium from an acute illness. The nursing home did not have a process in place for delirium assessment and 2 days later Mrs. Frank had a fall in the nursing home and was admitted to the hospital for pneumonia.</i></p><p>How age-friendly care can optimize delirium management for older adults, including those living with dementia, has been discussed previously (Fick &amp; Shrestha, 2022; Kwak et al., 2024). We seek to expand on this important dialogue and discuss the empowerment of CNAs as nursing homes integrate age-friendly delirium care.</p><h2>Age-Friendly Delirium Care</h2><p>Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS; https://www.ihi.org/initiatives/age-friendly-health-systems) is a national initiative that aims to ensure all older adults in all care settings consistently receive equitable, person-centered, and evidence-based care. The four pillars of AFHS are What Matters, Medication, Mentation (dementia, depression, delirium), and Mobility, collectively known as the 4Ms Framework. Although most nursing homes are already addressing one or more of the 4Ms, the key to truly becoming age-friendly is the reliable application and integration of all 4Ms as a set during every encounter with every older adult in every setting.</p><p>CNAs are responsible for most direct patient care and spend the most time with residents among nursing home staff. CNAs are uniquely positioned to facilitate the implementation of the 4Ms to promote age-friendly delirium care for residents with and without dementia: “What Matters” or goals and preferences of older adults and care partners should be incorporated into all direct care activities, whereas “Mobility” should be encouraged during transferring. Engagement in meaningful activities to keep the mind active and mobility are protective factors for delirium, whereas malnutrition and medication are risk factors. Typical duties of CNAs include assisting residents with bathing, toileting, dressing, turning, repositioning, transferring (What Matters and Mobility); listening to and reporting health concerns of residents to nurses (What Matters); measuring and reporting vital signs (of which mental status should also be included [Fick, 2018]); and serv- ing meals and assistance with eating (What Matters, e.g., food preferences [U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, 2023]). Regarding Medication, some states allow CNAs to have an expanded role to dispense medicat","PeriodicalId":15848,"journal":{"name":"Journal of gerontological nursing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140834672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
