given they are a medical device and present a potential
safety risk and to prevent the confusion of when we do or don't write an order I

question
In a case where the half side rail does
not meet the definition of a restraint, is it still necessary to obtain an
order for them, including the disease process/symptoms they are being used
for?

If the side rail prevents the resident from doing something he

resident's access to his or her body, then it is a
restraint
That's it in a nutshell!
