The nurse is caring for an older adult client who is very confused and is also very thin. The healthcare provider has prescribed wrist restraints to help prevent the client from getting out of bed. Which is the priority for the nurse in applying the wrist restraints to this client?

▸ The restraints must be applied loosely to prevent the client from rubbing the skin against the restraint.

▸ The nurse must pad the client's wrist bones before applying the wrist restraint.

▸ The restraints should be tied to the bed rails to give the nurse easy access to allow quick removal of the restraints if necessary.

▸ The nurse should use a vest restraint instead of a wrist restraint to prevent injuring the client's skin.
