Verbal Overload
Allen Level 4 patients become anxious/angry when someone talks too much around them... gives them too many directions all at once... too much noise around them.... information is too complicated..... or when more than one person is trying to talk at the same time. Patients at this level become easily overwhelmed with auditory "clutter" and will refuse to participate... go back to his/her room... or lash out in anger.
