Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Apply a vest restraint daily at bedtime to prevent nighttime wandering.
Rationale:
💎 Vest restraints are only used as a last resort and never for convenience or routine control.
💎 This order violates patient safety and autonomy standards.
💎 Restraints increase the risk of injury, asphyxiation, and psychological distress.
💎 Alternative interventions (alarms, reorientation, supervision) must be tried first.
💎 The nurse must verify and clarify restraint use orders with the provider per facility policy and law.
