Feedback:
The medical healing restraint is a device used to prevent the client from interfering with necessary medical care. A chemical restraint is a drug used to calm or manage a client's dangerous behavior. The behavioral health-behavioral management restraint is used to prevent a client from harming him- or herself or others. The first choice for a child is for another nurse or the child's caregiver to hold the child during a medical procedure.
