    A nurse is applying soft limb restraints to a child who is acting aggressively toward staff. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Restraints should not be tied to the side rails because it can limit the child’s movement and increase the risk of injury. B. Restraints should be renewed per facility protocol, typically every 24 hours, not every 48 hours. C. A quick-release knot is essential when applying restraints to ensure that they can be easily undone in case of an emergency. D. The child should be assessed at least every 2 hours to check for complications from the restraints, not every 4 hours.
