Catastrophic reactions and other fear-induced behaviors such as agitation or violent behavior are: disruptive to providing care; emotionally unsettling for the patient and the caregiver; and potentially dangerous.

In addition, fear may result in a patient withdrawing and not engaging in life and may even contribute to wandering, calling out and repetitive questioning. Dr. Rabins and nursing staff discuss common fear behaviors and how destructive they can be to residents, staff and the facility. Filmed at Edenwald.
