Answer to Question 1

B
Before using restraints, other methods must be tried. Restraints should never be used as a substitute for close observation and supervision by nursing personnel.

Answer to Question 2

B
Fall prevention is an ongoing process that includes wiping up spills, encouraging use of side rails, applying restraints when prescribed, encouraging use of assistive devices for walking, using proper body mechanics, ensuring adequate lighting, and removing environmental obstacles. Nurses should reduce bathroom hazards while clients are in a health care facility and teach clients to take similar measures in their homes.
