RN Comprehensive Predictor 2026 Proctored Exam V2
A charge nurse is teaching a group of newly licensed nurses about the correct use of restraints. Which of the following examples should the charge nurse include in the teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
Elbow immobilizers (No-No restraints) are appropriate and standard postoperative care after cleft lip repair to prevent the infant from touching or traumatizing the surgical site. Restraints must never be attached to bed rails because if the rail is lowered, the client can be injured — they must be tied to the bed frame. A lap belt on a highchair-seated infant is a safety device, not a medical restraint. Elevated crib rails are a safety measure, not a restraint.
