When a resident is in physical restraints, how often should the restraints be removed during waking hours?

Every 1 hour
Every 2 hours
Every 3 hours
Every 4 hours

The correct answer is: Every 2 hours

When a resident is in physical restraints, it is crucial to follow proper protocols to ensure their safety and well-being. Restrained individuals must have the restraints removed at regular intervals to avoid any complications such as skin breakdown, decreased circulation, or physical discomfort. The standard practice is to release the restraints every 2 hours during waking hours to assess the resident's condition, provide necessary care, allow freedom of movement, and prevent potential harm associated with prolonged restraint use. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the recommended practice of removing restraints every 2 hours, as required for the safety and health of the resident.
