Feedback: The nurse should use an alarm-activating bracelet for the client because the client has a stable gait. This prevents unnecessary confinement to bed, and the client can move freely without getting off the premises. Waist restraints, vest restraints, and chair restraints are restrictive, and their use should be minimal. |
