Answer to Question 1

B
This order must never be written as a standing order or on an as-needed basis (i.e., prn); the condition of the restrained or secluded patient must be continually assessed, monitored, and reevaluated. Consultation with the patient's treating physician should occur as soon as possible if the restraint or seclusion is not ordered by the patient's treating physician.

Answer to Question 2

qd
The abbreviation for every day (qd) is no longer used. If a treatment or medication is needed daily, the nurse should write out the word daily or every day on the written order or care plan. The abbreviation qd (every day) can be misinterpreted to mean O.D. (right eye).
