We are proud to highlight Sherie Domingo, BSN, RN, for her continued leadership in preventing and reducing the duration of delirium in patients. Last year, Domingo developed the Delirium Prevention and Care Cart, which was introduced across SSF. This innovative initiative provides nurses with non-pharmacological tools to help reduce delirium in at-risk patients.
The cart includes a range of evidence-based items designed to support cognitive and sensory needs, such as sensory aids (eyeglasses, hearing amplifiers), cognitive stimulation tools (puzzles, drawing materials), fidget devices, music therapy tools (headsets for calming music), and occupational therapy aids (finger exercises, adaptive devices).
In addition to the cart, Domingo has continued to lead education efforts on the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM), ensuring nurses are equipped to diagnose delirium and implement effective interventions. Her ongoing training has empowered nurses to apply non-pharmacological strategies, confidently promoting high-quality, evidence-based care.
Domingo’s work has made a lasting impact on both patient outcomes and nursing practice. As she continues to lead this initiative in 2024 and beyond, her dedication ensures that clinical nurses are equipped with the resources and knowledge necessary to deliver the best possible care to patients at risk for delirium.
