Your best tool to optimize patient care by minimizing restraint use
Frontline nurses face fraught decisions every day about whether and
how to use restraints in dementia care. They need to consider many
complicated issues: legislation governing the use of restraints,
the policies of health-care facilities, the expectations of
families, and--most importantly--the well-being, dignity, and
safety of patients and care providers. Frontline nurses need the
right support to navigate decisions about restraint use. Dr. Atul
Sunny Luthra and his colleagues have developed an algorithm to
provide that support. Their work comes from focus-group
consultations with frontline staff, a review of current literature
on restraint use, and a clear summary of key legislation. The
algorithm's systematic approach ensures restraints are a
last-resort measure, and puts the right steps in place when
restraints are necessary. This short guide includes: A review of
nurses' perspectives on restraint use. Alternatives to restraints
in patient management and assessment of clinical indicators for
restraint use. Procedures to ensure informed consent when
restraints are necessary. A reference on appropriate and
inappropriate restraint use in everyday clinical situations.
