title: Untied: a safe alternative to restraints.
abstract: Designing safe, appropriate, and nonmanpower-dependent alternatives to the physical restraint of confused and agitated patients is a significant nursing problem. An environmental intervention is proposed to reduce restraint use, improve patient outcomes, and use nursing resources more effectively.
