I often hear professionals talk about observing and paying attention to people with cognitive impairment. But how should we observe them? First of all, please follow the following principles when observing:
(1) Pay attention to the influencing factors of mental and behavioral symptoms, and keep in mind the environmental factors and the patient's pre-existing diseases.
(2) Avoid preconceived observations and do not be limited by preconceived notions of cognitive impairment.
(3) Act and observe together
(4) Observe with empathy and be sensitive to the patient's anxiety.
