Answer to Question 1

C
Response C addresses what the resident feels, which from his or her statement would be the preferred sense. Response A asks the resident what he or she sees, not feels. Responses B and D are inappropriate responses and do not address preferred sense.

Answer to Question 2

A
By definition, physical restraints cannot be removed easily by the resident. They restrict free movement and restrict access to one's body. Physical restraints include leg restraints, hand mitts, bed rails, or soft ties.
