      abstract = {Confusion with elderly patients has been a clinical,  nursing problem for many years. Older adults who become  confused when hospitalized, or whose pre-existing,  cognitive difficulties worsen over the course of  hospitalization, present a nursing challenge in terms of  patient safety, client and family emotional well-being, and  the individual's potential for self-care during and after  the hospital stay. Our nursing texts and clinical articles  relate a variety of nursing interventions, which have as a  common base, the development of a supportive physical,  sensory and interpersonal environment to reduce or prevent  confusion in older patients. Yet, the problem of confusion  with elderly patients remains a serious problem whose  incidence is increasing. The purpose of this study was to  pilot test the environmental optimization intervention  protocol, which includes the environmental optimization  interventions (EOI) and innovation strategies.},
