Question 1 of 5
A nurse on a mental health unit placed a client in mechanical restraints after the client assaulted another client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Have the provider assess the client within 1 hr after applying the restraints. This is the correct action to ensure the client's safety and well-being. Having the provider assess the client promptly allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the client's condition and the necessity of continued restraint use. This assessment is crucial to determine the client's mental status, physical well-being, and the appropriateness of ongoing restraint application.
Other choices are incorrect:
A: Requesting a renewal every 2 hours is excessive and may lead to unnecessary prolonged restraint use.
B: Hourly evaluation, while important, may not be sufficient to address potential changes in the client's condition that require immediate intervention.
D: Obtaining a prescription on an as-needed basis does not ensure timely assessment and may delay necessary intervention.
