摘要：
During the moderate and late stages of dementia, patients experience behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), such as agitation, psychosis, and aggression. There is no FDA-approved treatment for BPSD, but antipsychotics are frequently prescribed off-label. Antipsychotics yield only modest improvements in BPSD and have been shown to increase death in elderly patients with dementia. It is recommended that, as a part of patient-centered care, nursing homes involve consultant pharmacists in the development and review of medication-safety procedures.
