title: [Repetitive screams].
abstract: Nurses are challenged by the repetitive shouting of the cognitively-impaired elderly. The author reflects on the known causes of this behavior and how it affects staff members. She suggests nursing actions to discourage shouting and encourages nurses to explore new ways to cope. One way is to modify staff behavior by correcting attitudes that stereotype the elderly.
