The best way of treating delirium is to practice preventative care by __________.

Answer
A
targeting and treating the symptoms and causes of delirium
B
prescribing medication to slow down the progression of the disease
C
participating in psychotherapy to change behavior
D
adopting new ways to control urges and cope with stress

Explanation

Preventive care for delirium focuses on reducing the risk of delirium by finding and addressing its underlying causes, while also treating symptoms that arise. Delirium is usually caused by an acute medical problem or medication effect, so medication to slow disease progression, psychotherapy, or urge-control techniques are not the best general approaches. The correct choice is targeting and treating the symptoms and causes of delirium.
