Answer to Question 1

last resort
The use of physical restraints is one safety strategy that has been used to protect patients from injury. However, efforts have been in place for several years by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and The Joint Commission to reduce the use of restraints and to use them only under extreme caution. Physical restraints are the last resort and are used only when reasonable alternatives have failed.

Answer to Question 2

Falls are the most common type of inpatient accident. Approximately 30 of hospital patient falls result in physical injury.
