RE: survey/restraint "remove on command"?

[MDS]

Deb, Hi, I’m jumping in the middle of this thread with a question. I have seen this response before & it always puzzles me. Where is it documented “can or cannot remove on command”? The reason I ask is because a moderately demented person may not be able to remove a restraint, therefore it “is a restraint”, but with cueing they can…. Does that make less of a restraint, if someone has to tell them to remove it? Just one of those questions that keep haunting me. Appreciate any other input.
