Restraints are never to be used as punishment
or for the convenience الراحة of staff. Other
measures to decrease agitation, such as
“talking down” (verbal intervention) and
chemical restraints (tranquilizing medication)
are usually tried first.
If these interventions are ineffective,
mechanical restraints may be instituted.
18. Seclusion
Seclusion is another type of physical restraint
in which the client is confined alone in a
room from which he or she is unable to
leave. The room is usually minimally
furnished with items to promote the client’s
comfort and safety.
24. Guidelines for Restraints
• Preferably five or a minimum of four persons
should be used to restrain the patient.
• Explain to the patient why he or she is going
into restraints.
• A staff member should always be visible and
reassuring the patient who is being restrained.
25. Guidelines for Restraints
• After the patient is under control, restraint at
a time should be removed at 5-minute
intervals.
• Always thoroughly document the reason for
the restraints, the course of treatment, and
the patient's response to treatment while in
restraints.
