title: Documentation of nursing care for patients who have been restrained.
abstract: The care of patients who require restraints in the emergency department presents a challenge, not only for the amount and quality of behavioral interventions but also for the level of monitoring and documentation required. Special forms created to facilitate serial documentation of nursing care for patients who require restraints are designed to meet the unique needs of each emergency care facility.
