Alarm devices warn nursing staff that a patient is attempting to leave a bed or chair unassisted.Staff can then provide assistance before the patient is fully out of the bed.Although moving the patient to a room closer to the nursing station allows the nurse to keep a closer eye on the patient,this action does not discourage wandering behavior.Raising side rails has the potential to trap parts of the patient's body,producing a hazard.The use of side rails alone for a disoriented patient often causes more confusion and further injury.Reminders are not effective for this patient due to memory loss.
