This is the second article in our series which looks in detail at one of the most pressing nursing problems of the age - coping with the behaviours of people with dementia in acute care units. The authors analyse the misunderstandings and misperceptions which conspire to build barriers to communication between nurses and people with dementia, and offer some practical advice on how to overcome them.
