Are you talking about someone who is
delusional? Confabulate basically means to chat or to fill one�s memory
with things that are not true.
If the resident is demented or this is a
long standing problem, you will likely be able to do nothing to reverse this
trend. I would use the goal that the resident would respond to
redirection, etc.
