Physical restraints limit mobility and increase the risk for a number of adverse outcomes, such as functional decline, agitation, diminished sense of dignity, depression, and pressure ulcers. <BR/>o Residents who are cognitively impaired are at a higher risk of entrapment and injury or death caused by physical restraints. It is vital that physical restraints used on this population be carefully considered and monitored. In many cases, the risk of using the physical restraint may be greater than the risk of it not being used. <BR/>o The risk of restraint-related injury and death is significant when physical restraints are used <BR/>Definition:<BR/>o Remove easily means that the manual method or physical or mechanical device, material, or equipment can be removed intentionally by the resident in the same manner as it was applied by the staff (e.g., side rails are put down or not climbed over, buckles are intentionally unbuckled, ties or knots are intentionally untied), considering the resident's physical condition and ability to accomplish their objective (e.g., transfer to a chair, get to the bathroom in time) .<BR/>(NOTE: The CMS's RAI Version 3.0 Manual, vI.17.1 Dated October 01, 2019, Section P, Physical Restraints and Alarms states the same information).

Physical restraints limit mobility and increase the risk for a number of adverse outcomes, such as functional decline, agitation, diminished sense of dignity, depression, and pressure ulcers. <BR/>o Residents who are cognitively impaired are at a higher risk of entrapment and injury or death caused by physical restraints. It is vital that physical restraints used on this population be carefully considered and monitored. In many cases, the risk of using the physical restraint may be greater than the risk of it not being used. <BR/>o The risk of restraint-related injury and death is significant when physical restraints are used <BR/>Definition:<BR/>o Remove easily means that the manual method or physical or mechanical device, material, or equipment can be removed intentionally by the resident in the same manner as it was applied by the staff (e.g., side rails are put down or not climbed over, buckles are intentionally unbuckled, ties or knots are intentionally untied), considering the resident's physical condition and ability to accomplish their objective (e.g., transfer to a chair, get to the bathroom in time) .<BR/>(NOTE: The CMS's RAI Version 3.0 Manual, vI.17.1 Dated October 01, 2019, Section P, Physical Restraints and Alarms states the same information).
