Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct order for applying wrist restraints is to first pad the bony prominences on the wrist, then apply the padded portion of the restraint around the wrist, pull the tie of the restraint through the slit in the wrist restraint and ensure that it is not too tight, and finally attach the other end of the restraint to the movable portion of the bed frame using a half-bow knot. This ensures that the restraints are applied safely and with the comfort of the client in mind.
