This Week's Risk Management Quiz Question 1: Under the new CMS Final Rule on the use of restraints and seclusion in hospitals, which of the following methods do not constitute a restraint?
Question 2: How many side rails must be raised in order to constitute a restraint under the CMS Final Rule? Answer to Question #1 Answer to Question #2
(If you cheat by going to the answers first... your computer will explode.)
Answer #1 It's Number 2...also not defined as a restraint are surgical dressings or bandages, protective helmets, or other methods that involve the physical holding of a patient for the purpose of conducting a routine physical examination or test.
All four...the final regulation indicates that devices that protect the patient from falling out of bed are not restraints...the exception is when all four side rails are raised to insure the immediate physical safety of the patient. |
