Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restraints should always be the least restrictive device that can effectively ensure the safety of the patient and others involved. The use of more restrictive restraints should only be considered if the patient's behavior cannot be controlled in any other way. Using restraints that are too restrictive may cause psychological harm and increase the risk of physical injury to the patient.
