Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restraints should not be used just because the family requests it. Restraints require a doctor's order and should be used only as a last resort after all other alternatives have been tried. Restraints can make confused and demented behaviors worse and can cause physical harm and emotional distress. All persons have the right to be free from restraints, and it is important to prioritize the resident's safety and quality of life while exploring other options to manage wandering and combative behavior.
