I remember being told when working with "confused" persons to not reenforce their delusions. Always attempting keep someone oriented to time, place, and person. Well, while this is a grand plan, I found when working with the elderly -sometimes, it was just better to let them be living in 1940. It made for a more enjoyable time for myself and the patient. But, I did see and made a differencation in confusion and delusions -perhaps I shouldn't have but I did.
