الطبيب كتب أمر تقييد "عند اللزوم" (PRN) لمريض نفسي عدواني. ما التصرف الصحيح؟

A provider writes a PRN restraint order for an aggressive psychiatric client. What should the nurse do?

1. Get family consent instead of a provider order
2. Clarify it, as restraint orders cannot be PRN
3. Restrain him and release after a full 24 hours
4. Restrain him whenever he becomes aggressive

Answer: B) Clarify it, as restraint orders cannot be PRN. Restraint orders must be time-limited with a face-to-face evaluation; PRN orders are not permitted. Restraint is a last resort after alternatives fail.
