  Kenneth M. Heilman, MD, director of the University of Florida Cognitive and Memory Disorder Clinics and professor of neurology and clinical psychology, suggested that each nursing home should have a board of governors, comprised of relatives of patients in that particular nursing home and medical professionals who are not employed by the nursing home (such as a physician, nurse, and occupational or physical therapist).This board should be responsible for developing an inspection plan using guidelines developed by the state or federal government, he said, and should involve inspections for weight loss, bed sores, and serious conditions that could result in patient harm.
  
  For example, medications such as haloperidol and benzodiazepines are frequently overly used so that patients at nursing homes remain almost in a vegetative state and thus place little demands on the personnel, Dr. Heilman said.Any family member, friend, or caregiver should be able to place a complaint to this board, resulting in an investigation.On a regular basis, the board would report its activities to government agencies that regulate nursing homes.
  
  It should be a priority for nursing homes to develop programs for rehabilitation for patients with disabilities, said Dr. Heilman.He added that even if disabilities cannot be reversed, nursing homes should teach patients alternative strategies to deal with their conditions while limiting pain and promoting comfort.

  We appreciate Dr. Heilman's reply to our editorial and shared goal of clearing obfuscation. [1,2] Whether the etymological root of "apraxia" means "inaction," "want of success," or "impairment of doing" is beside the point (Cf. President Clinton's infamous concern with the meaning of "is").
