The prevalence of delirium in general medical settings varies between 23% and 42%. The populations at significant risk for delirium include hospitalized adults 65 years and older. Delirium is associated with falls, functional decline, cognitive impairment, and high medical costs. A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis of Vassar Brothers Medical Center's strengths included adopting the Short-CAM delirium screening tool for patients 18 years and older. However, delirium remained underrecognized. Nurses have a significantly higher rate of patient interaction than any other healthcare professional. A literature review found nurses lacked theoretical knowledge of delirium, and multimodal education effectively increased knowledge. I used the Iowa model framework due to its practicality and adaptability in the clinical setting. I developed a practice change project consisting of a pre-and post-assessment method for thirty seasoned and novice nurses in the 30-bed neuroscience medical-surgical unit. It included a 50-minute web-based module sent via email and eight 10-minute in-person sessions. The expected outcomes were to improve nurses' knowledge of delirium and improve nurses' recognition of delirium risk factors by 20% within five weeks. There was a statistically significant increase in mean percentage scores from the pre-assessment to the post-assessment surveys (z = -3.77, p = < 0.001). Nurses' post-assessment scores increased in knowledge of delirium, tools used for delirium assessments, and recognition of delirium risk factors. There was a limitation in the small sample size of N = 22. Delirium education should be part of the annual education of nurses and should be available to new nurses during orientation.
