Question 1 of 5
A nurse is considering placing wrist restraints on a client who has cognitive deficits and has pulled out their IV catheter. Before using wrist restraints, which of the following actions must the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Attempt less restrictive alternatives. Before resorting to wrist restraints, the nurse should try less restrictive measures to ensure the client's safety. This includes measures such as distracting the client, providing a safe environment, using soft restraints, or involving family members. This step is essential to prioritize the least restrictive intervention and uphold the client's dignity and autonomy. Obtaining a prescription for restraints (
A) is important but should come after attempting less restrictive measures. Documenting indications (
B) and explaining the procedure (
C) are important steps but do not address the immediate need to explore alternatives to restraints.
