Guidelines on use of restraint in neuroscience settings.
Nurses working in neuroscience often have to manage patients whose behaviour puts themselves or others at risk of injury or compromises their care and treatment. The National Benchmarking Group has explored issues related to the restraint of patients and made some key recommendations. The aim was to develop guidelines for staff working in specialist areas on how to manage challenging behaviour while maintaining patient safety and dignity.
