Using the least restrictive method ensures the child's safety while minimizing discomfort. An order is necessary to ensure the restraint is justified and properly documented. Encouraging activities supports the child's development despite the restraint. Frequent assessment of hygiene and elimination needs is crucial for the child's comfort and health. Restraints should be checked more frequently than every 4 hours, so option C is incorrect.
