If
the pummel was removed would she be able to get out of the
chair?
Hello everyone,
I have a
question that I need an answer for. I have a resident who has a pummel
cushion in her chair. I have always coded this as a restraint because
she could not get out of the chair easily due to this cushion. Now she
requires extensive assistance to get out of the chair. Is this still
considered a restraint? Any help would be
appreciated.
