For a resident with dementia who enjoys walking, a safe alternative to restraining the resident is to:
- A.Keep the resident in bed all day with the side rails up
- B.Give the resident a chair with a locked tray for the whole day
- C.Tell the resident walking is no longer allowed at any time
- D.Provide a safe, clear walking path and walk with the resident when possible
Correct answer
D. Provide a safe, clear walking path and walk with the resident when possible
Why
Supervised walking in a safe area meets the need to move while reducing exit and fall risks. Prolonged bed rest, locked trays, and blanket bans remove mobility and independence.
