Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Because of the risks of restraint and seclusion, a primary guideline is that use should be limited to emergencies in which the risk of a client physically harming self, staff, or others is imminent. Furthermore, restraint and seclusion should be applied only when other less restrictive methods to ensure client safety have failed. Nonphysical interventions are the first choice.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Because of the risks of restraint and seclusion, a primary guideline is that use should be limited to emergencies in which the risk of a client physically harming self, staff, or others is imminent. Furthermore, restraint and seclusion should be applied only when other less restrictive methods to ensure client safety have failed. Verbal consent and a known psychiatric diagnosis are not legally or ethically required in situations where no other option for ensuring safety remains.
