Answer to Question 1

C
Restraints are protective devices used to limit the physical activity of a patient or to immobilize a patient or extremity. Restraints are used to protect the patient, allow for treatment in a safe environment, and reduce the risk of injury to others. Restraints should not be used for a restless patient.

Answer to Question 2

B
Critical thinking is an intellectual skill based on theories and principles guided by logic and sound judgment which leads to quality nursing. Critical thinking is a highly desirable skill that can be learned and has been identified by the National League of Nursing, and supported by the American Association of Colleges in Nursing as a criterion outcome of the nursing education curriculum.
