Answer #1

The correct answer is option D that is use full length side rails on the client's bed because that way client won't be able to reach the tubes or other equipments that he is facing problems with.

So, sode rails acts as a physical restraint of patient's movements.

Removing clock doesn't help because patient will already be frustrated with the clock not moving too fast. Checking patient in restroom and encourage physical activity also act as an alternative of reatraints.
