Answer to Question 1


Physical restraint is described as mechanical or personal restriction that immobilizes or reduces the ability of an individual to move his or her arms, legs, or head freely, not including devices  for the purpose of conducting routine physical examinations or tests or to protect the resident from falling out of bed or to permit the resident to participate in activities without the risk of physical harm to the resident  . (P. L. 106-310, 2000, pp. 1195-1196).

Chemical restraint is the use of a drug or medication not part of a person's usual medical regimen that is administered to control behavior or restrict freedom of movement.
