A confused resident keeps trying to stand up alone in her chair. What should you do?
- A.Leave quickly to find a restraint in the supply room
- B.Tell her firmly to stop and walk away to finish charting
- C.Stay with her and call for help rather than leaving her alone
- D.Move her chair facing the wall so she cannot see the hall
Correct answer
C. Stay with her and call for help rather than leaving her alone
Why
Staying with an unsafe resident and getting help prevents an unassisted fall. Leaving her alone, even briefly, and punitive positioning are unsafe and inappropriate.
