Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restraint of a child during sterile dressing changes is not recommended unless it is absolutely necessary for safety reasons. Restraint can increase anxiety and make the child feel more afraid. In addition, any movement caused by restraint can cause contamination of the sterile field. Alternative methods to keep the child still such as distraction, positive reinforcement, or medication can be considered.
