Can physical and chemical restraints be used in a nursing home?

  1. Only upon the order of a physician and when necessary to prevent injury

  2. Only for residents with severe mental disorders

  3. Only if approved by the nursing staff

  4. Only during emergencies

The correct answer is: Only upon the order of a physician and when necessary to prevent injury

Physical and chemical restraints can only be used in a nursing home if they are ordered by a physician and deemed necessary to prevent injury. B is incorrect because restraints should not be used solely for residents with mental disorders. C may imply that restraints need approval beforehand, which is not always the case. D is incorrect because restraints should not be used as a first response during emergencies, as non-restraint methods should be attempted first. Therefore, A is the best answer as it provides the appropriate context for the use of physical and chemical restraints in a nursing home setting.
