Feedback:
The nurse should remove a restraint from one elbow. The elbow restraint in the child is used to prevent the child from touching the incision site. One restraint at a time can be removed to provide movement in the child, but the mother should be told to supervise the child. Removing both the restraints, not removing the restraints, and loosening the restraints are inappropriate nursing actions.
