Restraint-Free Environments in the Long-Term-Care Setting

Description

Eliminating restraints from the nursing home environment is not an unattainable dream! This program outlines the components of a restraint-reduction plan: developing a team approach to resident safety; assessing needs and developing interventions based on each resident's presenting problem, behavioral triggers, and available resources; and working toward desired outcomes though regular evaluation of interventions and adjustment of the resident's care plan. The best restraint alternatives? Those that take into account the resident's weaknesses while focusing on the resident's strengths. Designated for 2 contact hours of continuing nursing education.
