Answer to Question 1

A
Response A is the best answer. The Health Care Financing Administration requires that nonrestrictive measures be attempted and documented as unsuccessful before the use of chemical or physical restraints. Responses B, C, and D are incorrect. Even if a physician orders a restraint, the nurse is responsible for documenting the use of less restrictive means to manage the behavior before a restraint is used. The criterion of providing the least restrictive environment was designed to advocate for residents with altered thought processes and to ensure that they maintained their right to choose treatment options.

Answer to Question 2

B
Democratic managers have a strong sense of team. This manager uses the team to gather, assess, and implement change. Although this process may take a great deal of time and energy, it works well in geriatric environments because it is people-focused.
