Delirium from a dangerous cause
New confusion with a positive CAM and hypoglycemia on the ordered check — treated per protocol, provider notified, recheck and evaluation ordered, monitoring; cognitive change tied to the corrected cause; supports Section C.
Linked disease-specific scenarios
Behavioral management and psychotropic/GDR route to the Behavioral reference; the neurologic deficit exam routes to the Neurological reference; UTI as a delirium trigger routes to the Continence reference; fever/sepsis routes to the General/Constitutional reference; dementia-specific care routes to the Dementia overlay.
