Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restraints can be either physical or chemical. A physical restraint is a device that is attached to or near a person's body to limit a person's freedom of movement or access to their body (e.g., tightly tucked bedsheets, mitts, or raised side rails). A chemical restraint is any medication that alters a person's mood or behavior, such as a sedative or tranquilizer. Such medications should not be used in so high a dose as to make the person sleepy or unable to function in a normal fashion. A leg brace is intended to help not hinder movement.
