Answer to Question 1
C
Years ago, restraints were considered a safety measure for elderly patients, especially very frail patients and demented patients, to keep them from wandering and possibly falling. Research has shown, however, that these assumptions were incorrect. Restraints often reduce functional capacity; create problems with some body systems; and result in injuries, such as asphyxiation, when patients try to struggle out of the restraints. Response C is the correct answer to this question because restraints tend to depersonalize care and result in a paternalistic or controlling attitude toward the patient.
