Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For adult clients, use of restraint and seclusion requires a face-to-face evaluation by a licensed independent practitioner within 1 hour of restraint or seclusion and every 8 hours thereafter, a physician's order every 4 hours, documented assessment by the nurse every 1 to 2 hours, and close supervision of the client. Staff must monitor a client in restraints continuously on a 1:1 basis for the duration of the restraint period. A client in seclusion is monitored 1:1 for the first hour and then may be monitored by audio and video equipment.
