Use Of Restraint Or Seclusion

The statement suggests that the use of restraint or seclusion should only be based on the patient's current assessed needs, rather than being used preemptively based on past experiences. This means that healthcare professionals should evaluate the patient's situation at the time when considering the use of restraint or seclusion, ensuring that it is necessary and appropriate for the patient's immediate condition.

The statement is true because the use of restraints or seclusion in clinical settings should only be considered when the benefits outweigh the potential risks and complications. Restraints and seclusion can have physical and psychological effects on patients, such as injuries, trauma, and loss of dignity. Therefore, healthcare professionals must carefully evaluate the clinical indications for using these interventions and ensure that they are necessary to protect the patient or others from harm.

The statement is false because the given reasons such as convenience of the staff, coercion, punishment, insufficient staff, or patient history of use or history of dangerous behavior are not acceptable reasons for the seclusion or restraint of a patient. The use of seclusion or restraint should only be considered as a last resort when there is an immediate risk of harm to the patient or others, and it should be done in accordance with established guidelines and regulations to ensure the safety and well-being of the patient.

Documentation for patients in behavioral restraints must be done every 15 minutes for 1:1 observation. This means that the healthcare provider must record and document the patient's condition, behavior, and any changes or incidents every 15 minutes. This frequent documentation is necessary to ensure the patient's safety and well-being while they are in behavioral restraints and to monitor any potential risks or complications. It also helps to maintain an accurate record of the patient's condition for future reference and communication with other healthcare professionals.

The correct answer is "Written Orders for the patient to be evaluated by Mental Health." The Use of Restraint or Seclusion CPM requires documentation of various aspects of each episode of restraint or seclusion, including the circumstances that led to their use, consideration or failure of non-physical interventions, and behavioral criteria for discontinuation of restraint or seclusion. However, it does not specifically require documentation of written orders for the patient to be evaluated by Mental Health.

The correct answer is 4. In regards to Behavioral Restraints on the acute care areas and CLC, the physician must see or evaluate the patient in person within 4 hours after the initiation of the intervention. This ensures that the patient's condition is assessed by a medical professional in a timely manner to ensure their safety and well-being. Waiting longer than 4 hours could potentially lead to complications or adverse effects from the intervention.
