Most importantly, relatives need to be involved in decision-making regarding the use of antipsychotic medication. Nurses have a role to educate care staff on the use of person centred care in preference to medication for better care of the person with dementia.<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Anita De Bellis<\/li>\n<li>Sandra Bradley<\/li>\n<li>Lily Dongxia Xiao<\/li>\n<li>Ingrid Belan<\/li>\n<li>Tim Wallace<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>relatives, dementia, behaviours, antipsychotics, residential aged care<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: Antipsychotic use for behaviours by persons with dementia in residential aged care: the relatives\u2019&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[4409,4408,3988,4407,4248],"class_list":["post-7408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-antipsychotics","tag-behaviours","tag-dementia","tag-relatives","tag-residential-aged-care","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
