A nurse is discussing restraints with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following situations should the nurse identify as an acceptable indication for using restraints for a client?

Inadequate staffing ratio between clients and health care providers

Discipline for throwing chairs at staff

Continued self-destructive behavior

Refusal to take medication

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

A. Inadequate staffing ratio between clients and health care providers:
This is never a justifiable reason for restraint use; it violates patient rights and ethical standards.

B. Discipline for throwing chairs at staff:
Restraints should never be used as punishment; they are only used to prevent harm after less restrictive measures have failed.

C. Continued self-destructive behavior:
Restraints may be used when a patient poses a risk to self or others, and all less restrictive interventions have been ineffective.

D. Refusal to take medication:
Refusal alone is not justification for restraint unless refusal leads to immediate danger and court-ordered treatment applies.
