Description
Barbara Resnick's 2023 symposium paper looks at how nurses can use their scarce time well with hospital patients who live with dementia. She presents an approach called Function Focused Care for Acute Care, which turns each care moment into a chance for the patient to move and take part.
In practice, staff walk a patient to the bathroom rather than bring a bedpan, let patients wash their own face, or walk with a restless patient in the hall. Resnick sorts care contacts into positive, neutral, and negative kinds, and notes that positive contact draws patients into their own care. The paper reviews how wards have raised both the amount of this care and the quality of each contact.
