Mitt restraints are the least restrictive since they only restrict the resident's ability to use their hands, rather than their entire body. This can prevent the resident from pulling out their feeding tube while still allowing them to move around and perform other activities of daily living. The other options (jacket, vest, and belt restraints) restrict the resident's movement more severely, and should only be used if there is no less restrictive alternative available.
