Question 5 of 5
Mrs. Ford has a belt restraint. How often should she be checked for the position of the restraint?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Belt restraints are used to prevent falls or injury but pose risks like skin irritation, circulation issues, or discomfort if improperly positioned or left unchecked. Frequent monitoring is critical to ensure the restraint remains safe and effective. Checking every 10-15 minutes allows for timely adjustments and immediate response to any distress or complications, aligning with best practices in restraint use that emphasize resident safety and comfort. Every 30 minutes or hourly increases the risk of undetected issues, such as pressure sores or restricted blood flow, which can develop quickly. Every two hours is too infrequent, as guidelines typically recommend more regular checks often every 15 minutes or as per care plan to comply with safety standards and legal requirements in healthcare settings, making 'Every 10-15 minutes' the most appropriate and safest choice.
