When I was in nursing and we had to restrain someone we had a huge policy and a documentation tool that went with it to make sure we complied that detailed what we had tried first, how often we had to directly monitor the person, how often we checked circulation and assessed behavior and that we took the restraints off as soon as it was safe to do so. We really only used them when a patient was violent. <br /><br />Marissa was a flight risk too. In fact, she had a full time paraprofessional to help her throughout the day and make sure she didn't take off. <br /><br />You know nursing homes have these cool little monitors that the residents wear that alarm when they leave the building. I wonder if the schools could learn something from the healthcare field. Oh, it hasn't always been perfect. Patients died in restraints. They were overused. But, lawsuits and accreditation requirements have forced the industry to make safe, patient centered standards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
