PT Question of the Week - Hospital restraints

You are discussing with your student the various restraint levels used in a hospital. The conversation moves to more general uses of restraints. Which of the following scenarios would most likely be considered the correct restraining of a patient? 
1. Applying a seatbelt to a wheelchair that the patient can voluntarily take off
2. A family member allowing a patient to use a prescribed sleeping medication 
3. Allowing a family member to use a gait belt to tie around the patient and the chair to improve trunk positioning 
4.  Asking a patient to self-apply a seatbelt when using a powered wheelchair

The solution will be posted in a few days.
