If you have confusion charges from the scroll or spell (meaning your hands are glowing red), the Z menu will gain a “confuse” spell option that always has a 0% failure rate, with the associated key being “-“. Casting this allows you to “zap” a confusion charge in any direction, confusing the first monster it touches.

Confuse monster scrolls grant more charges than castings of the spell do. This means that the uncursed scroll should grant several charges, and the blessed one even more.

If the player has glowy confuse-monster hands, ranged projectile attacks also work to confuse monsters, not just melee attacks.
