How often should patients with restraints be observed?

  1. 10 min

  2. 15 min

  3. 20 min

  4. 30 min

The correct answer is: 10 min

Patients with restraints should be observed every 10 minutes to ensure their safety and well-being. Option B, 15 minutes, may be too long of a gap between observations and could increase the risk of injury or harm. Option C, 20 minutes, may also be too long of a gap and could put the patient at risk. Option D, 30 minutes, is definitely too long of a gap and could lead to serious consequences. It is important to regularly check on patients in restraints to monitor their physical and emotional state, protect their dignity, and ensure their basic needs are met.
