When a resident is in physical restraints, how often should they be monitored?

Every 10 minutes
Every 15 minutes
Every 30 minutes
Every hour

The correct answer is: Every 15 minutes

A resident in physical restraints should be monitored regularly to ensure their safety and well-being. Option A, monitoring every 10 minutes, may be too frequent and could potentially cause discomfort or agitation for the resident. Option C, monitoring every 30 minutes, may not be frequent enough to catch any potential issues that may arise. Option D, monitoring every hour, is also not frequent enough and increases the risk for any incidents to go unnoticed. Option B, monitoring every 15 minutes, strikes a balance between being vigilant and giving the resident enough time to rest and adjust to the restraints. This option allows for timely intervention in case of any problems while also promoting the resident's comfort.
