RE: Restraint or Not

[Laurie L Swanke]

If the resident could get up from a regular bed and ambulate, it would be a restraint.  Just a warning--be very careful with low beds against the wall. We have had a resident become entrapped between the bed and the wall.  Thank God, no injury and we know she was not there long. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 19, 2003 4:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Restraint or Not Could someone tell me if a low bed against the wall with a mat on the otherside of the bed is a restraint????? Where can I find the documentation if this is a restraint.   Thanks
