Checking the tightness of restraints ensures the patient's safety and physical well-being by preventing injury or discomfort. Private toileting and oral hydration are important but fall under basic hygiene and hydration needs, not specifically related to a restrained patient's safety. Therapeutic communication is essential for psychological well-being but does not address the immediate physiological needs of a restrained patient. Maintaining a patent airway is crucial for breathing but is not directly related to the physical safety aspect of restraints.
