Splint or Brace Assist in P3

[Kathy Archibald]

We have a 40 y/o female resident hx anoxic brain injury, who uses a chest cross-over velcro vest to assist with positioning when she is sitting in a chair eating or doing activities.  She can take it off herself, so it is not a restraint.  She can almost put it on herself, and we have been working with her to teach her to do this, since allowing her to sit up straighter gives her more independence and quality of life, would this qualify under P3 restorative nursing, splint or brace assist since it is not a limb brace or splint?
