Abstract
Acute cranial nerve disease causes hyperactive delirium. This may be affected by changing toileting habits. Twenty-six patients with hyperactive delirium caused by acute cranial nerve disease were taken to the toilet, and the relationship between delirium and toileting was examined, resulting in a reduction of delirium. However, the effect was temporary, and delirium increased again. Furthermore, introducing clients to toilets ahead of time tends to reduce the period of delirum. This study suggests that toilet intervention is effective in mitigating delirium.
