A client requiring wrist restraints
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to an assistive personnel (AP) about the application of wrist restraints to a client. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Attach the restraints to the fixed portion of the frame of the client's bed. This is the correct instruction because attaching the restraints to the bed frame ensures that the client is safely secured and prevents harm or injury. Attaching the restraints to a fixed portion of the bed frame also prevents the client from moving freely and potentially causing harm to themselves or others. This method is in line with safety guidelines and best practices for using restraints in healthcare settings.
Other choices are incorrect:
A: Securing restraints with a square knot may not provide enough security and can be easily untied by the client.
C: Removing restraints every 2 hours is not recommended as it can lead to increased agitation and potential harm to the client.
D: Allowing only 1 fingerbreadth between the restraint and the client's wrists may not provide enough security and can lead to the client slipping out of the restraints.
