註釋The document needs to be reviewed and applied based on the specific needs of the organization or practice setting/environment, as well as the needs and wishes of the client. [...] The RNAO strongly recommends the use of this Toolkit for guiding the implementation of the best practice guideline on "Screening for Delirium, Dementia and Depression in Older Adults". [...] In the guidelines reviewed, the panel assigned each recommendation a rating of A, B or C to indicate the strength of the evidence supporting the recommendation. [...] Other organizations, including the College of Nurses of Ontario (2002), support standards of practice for the care of older adults that incorporate assessment and documentation of cognitive and functional abilities. [...] Geriatric Depression Scale Following the clinical interview and the identification of risk factors or client symptoms, the nurse may substantiate the potential for depression with the use of a questionnaire such as the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (see Appendix K for GDS-15 and Appendix L for GDS-4).
