Answer to Question 1

C
Assess proper placement of restraint, skin integrity, pulses, temperature, color, and sensation of the restrained body part. Remove restraints at least every 2 hours or more frequently as determined by agency policy. If patient is violent or noncompliant, remove one restraint at a time and/or have other staff present while removing restraints.

Answer to Question 2

A
A medication sometimes has as many as three different names. A medication's chemical name is an exact description of the medication's composition and molecular structure. In clinical practice, health care workers rarely use chemical names. An example of a chemical name is N-acetyl-para-aminophenol, which is commonly known as Tylenol. The manufacturer who first develops the medication gives the generic or nonproprietary name with United States Adopted Names Council (USANC) approval. Acetaminophen is an example of a generic name. It is the generic name for Tylenol. The generic name becomes the official name that is listed in publications such as the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). The trade or brand name (e.g., Tylenol) is the name under which a manufacturer markets a medication. The trade name has the symbol  to the upper right of the name, indicating that the manufacturer has registered the medication's name.
