Practice Question

A nurse is observing an assistive personnel (AP) apply a belt restraint on a client. Which of the following actions by the AP requires intervention by the nurse?

Answer Choices:

A. Tying the restraint to the bed frame

B. Applying the restraint over the client's gown

C. Placing the restraint across the client's chest ✓ Correct Answer

D. Using a quick-release knot to secure the restraint

Correct Answer:

Placing the restraint across the client's chest

Rationale:

🛑Positioning across the thorax can restrict chest expansion and impair respiratory function.

✅Restraints should anchor on limbs, allowing breathing and minimizing asphyxia risk.

🔐Proper placement reduces potential for respiratory compromise and maintains safety.

⚠️Any risk to airway or circulation integrity requires immediate intervention.

📌Core Message

Ensure restraints preserve respiratory function by avoiding placement across the chest.
