Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The UAP cannot perform the initial assessment, and most facilities require that a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse Applying a restraint. The physician should be contacted by the nurse not the UAP. The UAP can assist with applying the restraint and can perform monitoring checks under the direction of a Registered Nursing

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Restraints should never be tied in a knot because the knot may prohibit a quick exit in the event of an emergency requiring evacuation. Instead, use quick-release ties or mechanisms such as buckles. Restraints should never be tied to side rails because injuries may result when they are raised or lowered. They should be tied to a stable part of the bed such as the frame.
