Question 5 of 5

The nurse is caring for a patient on a ventilator and reads the order "restrain prn." The nurse considers which factor when caring for this patient? (Select all that apply)

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Safety restraint devices (SRDs) are used to protect patients but must be applied correctly to avoid harm. SRDs do not inherently decrease anxiety (A) and may increase it if misused. Not all older adults need SRDs at night (B) as this is not a blanket requirement and should be individualized. Allowing maximum freedom of movement (C) is correct to prevent injury and maintain comfort. Tying SRDs to side rails (D) is unsafe as it can cause injury if the rail moves; they should be tied to the bed frame. Ensuring two fingers can fit between the SRD.
