    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric nursing
    • Patient safety
    • Clinical decision support

    Background:

    • Physical restraint use in long-term care facilities is common but associated with adverse outcomes.
    • Nurses require effective tools to manage challenging patient behaviors without resorting to restraint.

    Observation:

    • A five-chart decision flow chart was developed to address specific behaviors: poor sitting posture, rigidity, wandering, agitation, and falls.
    • Each chart outlines potential causes for the behavior and suggests corresponding interventions.

    Findings:

    • The flow chart provides a structured approach for nurses to identify underlying reasons for patient behaviors.
    • It offers evidence-based, non-pharmacological interventions tailored to specific behavioral causes.
