In the context of patient safety, the use of restraints is a sensitive issue that must align with legal and ethical standards. Ensuring that a physician's order is obtained before applying restraints, such as soft wrist restraints, respects the patient's rights and upholds the principle of providing safe and lawful care. Restraints should only be used as a last resort when less restrictive interventions have been considered or attempted, and always with the appropriate physician's order for the specific situation.
