ABD and Restraint in a Person Without ABD
The key message from all of the guidance is that we should always, always, always look to be using the least restrictive option when it comes to the next steps.

It is a very, very, or it can be anyway, a very fine balance between safety and not exacerbating the clinical condition. And that's something you should have in the back of your mind at all times if that patient's being restrained. How long is this gonna go on for forever? Because it could make that patient potentially worse.
