Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mr. Myles may be wandering due to pain, so ensuring he is adequately medicated for pain may help prevent this behavior. Positioning his bed at a high level and using restraints in bed may increase his risk of falls and injury, and providing a warm drink at bedtime is unlikely to prevent wandering behavior.
