The Physician Orders Wrist Restraints for an Agitated Patient

The physician orders wrist restraints for an agitated patient. To safely use this protective device, the nurse:

A) checks that circulation is not impaired by evaluating color, warmth, and pulses distal to the device.
B) secures the ties of the device to the side rails of the bed to allow for easy access by the nurse.
C) draws the restraint tightly to prevent the patient's hands from slipping out.
D) uses a knot that is not easily undone for patient security.
