And most of times restraints are considered as a nursing intervention to keep the patient from pulling at tubes, drains, and lines or to prevent patient’s movements from when it’s restricted. Nurses should always focus on evidence- based practices within the setting of the nurse-client relationship and on methods for assessment, prevention, and use of alternative practices to prevent the use of restraints and move on to restraints-free care in various settings such as acute, long term and home health-care. In Ontario, the Patient Restraints Minimization Act advice healthcare settings to look over alternative methods and use restraints only as a last resort when a person is at harm to themselves and/or others (RNAO 2012). The hospital has a legal and ethical responsibility to support a least restraint policy that provides a safe and therapeutic environment

It is through this that an appropriate nursing plan care is used. For example, in the decreased cardiac output, heart sounds and blood pressure should be monitored. Veri (2013) asserted that murmurs in the heart sounds may indicate a valvular incompetence. Further, chronic blood pressure may be elevated and as a result, profound hypotension may occur (Vera, 2013). In the case study, I have observed that barriers to teaching and learning include a lack of knowledge about the disease itself.
This allows avoiding potential adverse effects of sedatives and analgesic drugs on airway patency, respiratory function, and hemodynamic balance as the cornerstone for a safe sedation. Complications during procedural sedation may be prevented by the appropriate pre-evaluation of the patient, intraprocedural monitoring of physiologic functions, and early intervention when adverse effects are recognized. This review will present the most recent review of the literature on drugs used for procedural sedation, new methods for delivering sedation and an overview on the training required for managing complications related to procedural sedation. UPDATE ON OLD AND NEW SEDATIVE
Restraints can be placed on a patient in three different ways: chemical, physical and by seclusion. Physical restraints are the most commonly used of the three. This can involve tucking the sheets around a patient so tightly that he or she cannot
However, it was not possible to get his consent to the use of restraints even intermittently, as he was not capable of giving free and fair consent. The clinicians also continued to be concerned about the safety of other patients on the ward if he was brought out into association without any form of restraint. Conversely, there was considerable anxiety among the staff about using restraint. The hospital management also raised concerns about the ethics of using mechanical restraint and the risk of bad publicity for the hospital. In the US, substantial flexibility is allowed in the use of mechanical restraint, but a state court in Montana established constitutional requirements for the use of such procedures in psychiatric
It can be considered as an option for certain cases but other more effective measures should be considered to tackle the problem regarding the aggressive behaviours of prison inmates. The patient (the prisoner) should have a say in whether or not he/she wants to take the medication or choose to participate in other rehabilitation methods such as counselling. Imprisonment should not be seen as a punishment, but rather is a way for people to change for
If a girl under age conceives a baby i don't agree that abortion should be an option, for the simple fact the following measures should be taken to prevent pregnancy such as protection of condoms, birth control, or other preventions should have been used. When an under age girl decides to have sex she should be responsible from getting pregnant so that she shouldn't think of abortion as an option. As an adult a girl over 18 should also be responsible so that abortion is never an option, i don't believe the morning after pill should be used because preventable measures were not used before. I have been contemplating several scenarios in my head, but my decision is still firm that abortion should not be an option even if a woman is raped. In God's words a baby is always a blessing.
The current author develop this position statement with policy developed by King Abdullah University Hospital, this position statement summarized specific concern and recommendation for seclusion usage, must be applied by all health care providers and especially psychiatric sittings. The following list of major concern and recommendations: • Try to be the restrictive practice (Seclusion) last choice for safety precaution and prevent harm. • Educate all health care providers' especially psychiatric nurses about communication skills and de-escalating technique. • Provide pharmacogical courses for psychiatric patient focused on a-typical antipsychotic medication to use it for patient rather than
Laws are implemented and we can compare and contrast them to see what preventative measures can be used to help bring persons to justice when they break these laws of their countries. There are
