t was a very good article. Most Med-Surg nurses have had an agitated patient at one point or another. This article informed ways on how to prevent agitation in patients.

Working on a floor with a lot of agitation, this was a nice refresher to remind myself of things to be aware of. Very well worded and a good length.

My husband is in the hospital currently and has had some confusion and agitation. This article let me see how other nurses reacted with him in his situation, and how I could do better with this new knowledge for best practice.

Great article. We often forget the basics to care for agitated patients. Patients are out of their normal surroundings resulting in agitated state. Great ways to see things

Very relevant for both the patient and frontline nurses, who are also battling over-stimulation of their work environment. I really like the simple table and will use it to identify and treat agitation in the acute setting.
