Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
The use of restraints as an emergency measure is taken primarily as a last resort to protect a client from harm. Typically, the nurse acts under a physicians order, but in an emergency, the nurse may restrain a client out of necessity for one hour prior to the client being seen by a physician or an advanced practice mental health provider.
