Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assigning the client to the closest room near the nurses' station would allow for increased monitoring of the client and prevent her from wandering too far away from the nurses' station where she can potentially harm herself or others. Pulling up all the side rails on the bed, placing a rocking chair in her room, or wedging pillows against the side rails on the bed are not effective alternatives to using a restraint as they do not address the client's wandering behavior.
