A geriatric client is confused and wandering in and out of every door. Which scenario reflects the least restrictive alternative for this client?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Monitoring the client with an ankle bracelet is the least restrictive alternative because it allows the client to move freely but ensures that staff knows their location and can intervene if they wander into a dangerous area. Placing the client in seclusion, a geriatric chair with tray, or soft Posey restraints would all limit the client's movement and potentially cause physical and emotional harm.
