Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

The health care provider must write the order for the use of restraints, and cannot provide a verbal or telephone order. The nurse should document the explanation provided to the client and/or support people, why the restraint was needed, and the type of restraint used.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

Although each facility will set its own rules for frequency of assessing and documenting the use of restraints, clients generally will need to be assessed at least once every 1-2 hours. Once per day or per shift is very dangerous, and would not meet the recommendations of close observation of restrained clients. Assessing the client every 4-6 hours is not safe, and could result in client injury.
