Child acting aggressively toward staff
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is applying soft limb restraints to a child who is acting aggressively toward staff. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Secure the restraints with a quick-release knot. This is important for safety reasons as quick-release knots allow for rapid removal in case of an emergency or if the child needs immediate assistance. Using a quick-release knot ensures that the restraints can be easily and quickly undone without causing harm to the child. This is crucial in situations where quick intervention may be necessary.
Explanation for other choices:
B: Assess the child every 4 hr while in restraints - While assessment is important, every 4 hours may not be frequent enough for a child in restraints.
C: Request that the provider renew the prescription for restraints every 48 hr - While renewing prescriptions is necessary, this choice does not address the immediate safety concerns related to securing the restraints.
D: Tie the restraints to the side rails of the child's bed - Tying restraints to side rails can be dangerous as it restricts movement and can lead to injury or entrapment.
