The only thing I know is that in hospitals they use restrains and Lorazepam (Ativan).

A. increase night time lighting, keep him safe. at this time this is the only thing you can do. there seems to be no ned to restarin a guy who is disoriented but other than that is not causing any problem to slef or others.sedation with a benzo for night time disorientation sounds doubtful . might be ok though for short term in a hospital setting but a alzeimers pt living at home , best option would be to keep him safe and comfortable.

Thank you. Now I agree with A. Also I just read that this is the first think to do for confused patients, and not just for safety - lighting will make them less confused also.
