yelling and screaming-Developing a care plan: Management of Behavioral Symptoms

  1. Assess for triggers: Determine if the yelling and screaming is a result of over-stimulation, boredom, or too little stimulation. Try to eliminate or lessen the cause as much as possible.

  2. Give the resident something to eat or drink, such as hard candy (if not contraindicated by dietary/dysphagia concerns). This can help to redirect the resident's attention and provide sensory stimulation.
