Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Inadequate staffing ratio between clients and health care providers:
This is never a justifiable reason for restraint use; it violates patient rights and ethical standards.

B. Discipline for throwing chairs at staff:
Restraints should never be used as punishment; they are only used to prevent harm after less restrictive measures have failed.

C. Continued self-destructive behavior:
Restraints may be used when a patient poses a risk to self or others, and all less restrictive interventions have been ineffective.

D. Refusal to take medication:
Refusal alone is not justification for restraint unless refusal leads to immediate danger and court-ordered treatment applies.

A. The right to receive information necessary to give informed consent prior to the start of any procedure and/or treatment B. The right to reasonable continuity of care C. The right to have all medical care paid for D. The right to contact an attorney

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. The right to receive information necessary to give informed consent prior to the start of any procedure and/or treatment
