Dementia. Part 4: Risk management.
Negative assumptions that people with dementia are at risk from a variety of dangers often influence the care they receive. Such attitudes are usually based on misunderstandings about the meaning behind observed behaviours. Good risk management practice involves assessing how risk can be managed in ways that enhance autonomy and wellbeing.
