Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Restraints can only be ordered by a licensed healthcare provider, typically a doctor or physician assistant, after all other alternatives have been considered and deemed insufficient to ensure patient safety. The nurse or other healthcare team members may implement the restraint, but they cannot order it without proper authorization from a physician. The person's legal representative may be involved if the patient is unable to make decisions for themselves, but they cannot order restraints without proper authorization from a physician.
