Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The use of bed safety monitoring devices can help prevent falls and injuries while allowing for the client's mobility and independence. Restraints are not recommended as they can cause physical and psychological harm to the client. While explaining procedures and treatments, orienting the client, and implementing relaxation techniques can also be helpful, they may not effectively address the client's need to move around and may not prevent falls.
