The nurse is caring for an infant recovering from surgery for a cleft palate. Which type of restraint would be appropriate for the nurse to use when caring for this infant?
A) Elbow
B) Jacket
C) Mummy
D) Clove hitch
A
Feedback:
The elbow restraint is indicated to prevent children from touching the head or face after facial surgery. The jacket restraint is to restrain children younger than 6 months in a supine position. This will not prevent the baby from touching the face. The mummy restraint temporarily immobilizes young children for a procedure involving the head, neck, or throat. This might be the restraint used for the surgery but not for the postoperative care. The clove hitch restraint is used to secure one arm or leg for a procedure, such as an intravenous infusion.
