abstract="1. Although 66% of the 1.3 million elderly nursing home residents in the US exhibit aggressive tendencies, research indicates that caregivers underdocument aggressive incidents. As a result, the extent of aggression is unknown. 2. This study found that LPNs reported the largest percentage (41%) of the 51 documented aggressive incidents, which reportedly occurred most frequently in the bathroom (49% of the time) between 5 AM and noon (86% of the time). Most aggressive residents (55.1%) never had visitors. 3. This study concludes that nursing practice would benefit from a consistent definition of aggression, an easy-to-use clinical instrument to collect data on aggression, and caregiver education programs on assessing aggression.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
