I need some feedback about your perceptions, current policies and
procedures about the use of handboards when an IV site is located in
an area of joint flexion.
Do you consider the use of a handboard to be a form of restraint?
Do you routinely use a handboard when the site is in an area of joint
flexion? If not, why have you moved away from this practice.
Thanks for your comments. Lynn
