Answer to Question 1

C
Documentation of restraints should include reason for restraint, type of restraint used, time of placement, and condition of skin. In addition, restraints will be released every 2 hours and the client assessed, toileted, and offered food or drink.

Answer to Question 2

A
Abdominal Velcro binders support the abdomen and hold abdominal dressings in place. Stretch net binders are not designed for support, but simply to hold the dressing in place.
