Physical Restraint Activity Case Scenario As you enter Mrs. Lake’s room, you find her with one leg over the side rail, making attempts to get out of bed unassisted. Mrs. Lake is an 82-year-old client with a heart condition. She wears glasses. She has been prescribed Lasix (a diuretic) 40 mg daily. When you question what she is doing, she tells you, “I need to go to the bathroom.” She also tells you she is sure her dog needs to be let out because she hasn’t been able to get out of the bed all morning. Based on this scenario: Perform a safety assessment and determine patient’s risk for fall or injury. Review interventions that might be used prior to the application of restraints for any client. Determine what restraint intervention Mrs. Lake needs. Can application of restraints be delegated to unlicensed assistive personnel?
