Answer to Question 1

Answer:1
Rationale:Restraints are used only when ordered by the physician and interdisciplinary team caring for the child.Physical restraint is only a short-term approach to provide immediate safety if necessary.It would not be appropriate to apply the restraints,then obtain a physician's order.Even if permission is given by the parent and/or child,a physician's order still needs to be obtained.

Rationale 1: Having a job is how most teens develop financial independence and autonomy.

Rationale 4: Having a job does not indicate that the teen has developed an intimate relationship.
