we do not consider a handboard to be a restraint >>> "Lynn Hadaway" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2/8/2006 5:01:51 PM >>> 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 -- Lynn Hadaway, M.Ed., RNC, CRNI Lynn Hadaway Associates, Inc. 126 Main Street, PO Box 10 Milner, GA 30257 http://www.hadawayassociates.com office 770-358-7861
