Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Stressful situations tend to narrow a person's attention span and make him or her more prone to accidents. Stress does not increase retention of information or concern about hazards. Although stress may affect interpersonal relationships, that is not the same as safety.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Restraints should be tied to the frame of the bed rather than to the side rails. A physician's order is needed for restraints, except in emergencies when an order must be obtained within one hour of application. Frequent assessment of the client is needed, but continuous surveillance is not necessarily required. The least restrictive type of device that allows the greatest mobility, while still ensuring safety, is chosen.
