A nurse on a mental health unit is teaching a newly licensed nurse about the use of mechanical restraints. Which of the following statements by the newly licensed nurse indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. “I should assess the client's skin integrity every 8 hours while in mechanical restraints.”: Skin integrity should be assessed much more frequently, typically every 1 to 2 hours, to prevent pressure injuries and ensure circulation is not impaired. B. “I should expect the provider to evaluate the client within 4 hours of restraint application.”: Provider evaluation is required sooner, generally within 1 hour of restraint application, to ensure the necessity and appropriateness of restraints. C. “I should ask the provider to write a prescription for mechanical restraints as needed.”: Restraints require a specific, time-limited provider order; PRN (as needed) orders are not appropriate because continuous assessment is necessary to determine ongoing need. D. “I should visually monitor the client continuously when in mechanical restraints.”: Continuous visual monitoring is essential to ensure the client’s safety, prevent injury, and assess for any distress while restraints are in place.
