I think that "person" when describing orientation, is referring to the resident himself --knows who he is.

Subject: Intermitten confusion vs confused X3
There is a disagreement here about the difference between intermitten confusion and confusion X 3. One school of thought is X 3 person, place and time refers to: person "other people", place: "where they are", time: " time of day/month/year ect..". Other people share the same definitions with the exception of person, they feel person refers to themselves. So I get some oriented X 3 because they know themselves and so on and intermitten confusion because they "assume" they know themselves but not others. We all need to use the same definition and I was wondering what other school of thoughts are. Thanks.

I've always thought that the "person" is the patient/resident. They need to know who they are (i.e. their name).
