Is bed that is placed with one side to the wall a restraint if there is no rail on the other side? Thank you for answer. Bogda.   No. If resident can get out freely, this is not a restraint. a resident can have l side rail up for mobility support. Put the siderail up on the wall side, if needed. Using 1/2 rails is OK too, if resident can move freely and doesn't get trapped by it. do an assessment trail with resident and document results.{This is FL.}
