    A nurse is supervising a group of staff members on a mental health unit. Which of the following actions require the nurse to complete an incident report?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. An assistive personnel reapplies a soft limb restraint on a client after assisting them to the bathroom: Reapplying a soft limb restraint in itself does not necessarily require an incident report. However, the application must follow proper protocols, and the nurse should ensure that the assistive personnel are trained and following the correct procedures. B. An assistive personnel applies physical restraints on a client who is aggressive: Physical restraints should only be applied with a physician's order and in accordance with facility policies. If restraints are applied without proper authorization or protocol, an incident report must be completed. C. An assistive personnel tells the provider that a client is making other clients feel unsafe: Reporting concerns to the provider about a client's behavior is part of proper communication and does not require an incident report. D. An assistive personnel provides 1:1 monitoring for a client who is reporting thoughts of self-harm: This is an appropriate and necessary intervention for a client at risk of self-harm. It does not require an incident report, as the staff member is performing their duty to ensure the safety of the client.
