-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lynn Hadaway Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 2:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Handboards 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.
