Abstract
Behavioral disturbances among nursing home patients with dementia are common and substantially affect patients and caregivers. Assessing the environmental, medical, and psychiatric causes of problematic behaviors and implementing a plan of behavioral, medical, and psychiatric management can reduce difficult target behaviors. This article presents a multifaceted approach to assessing patients with dementia who have behavioral problems, reviews medical and pharmacological management of these problems, and presents a multidisciplinary approach to developing treatment plans aimed at reducing such behaviors among nursing home patients with dementia.
