In which situation would the use of patient restraints be appropriate? 1. the patient is unhappy and is refusing treatment. 2. a patient is drugged will not sign a consent form. 3.the patient is drunk and keeps yelling. 4. a patient is confused and is trying to pull out their ivs.

The correct answer is the FOURTH OPTION

It would be appropriate to use patient restraints when a patient is confused and is trying to pull out their IVs. Such patients often react in a paranoid fashion, and may constitute a danger to themselves or to their carers, and may need to be restrained till they are calm.

What's the question again?

20 times a minute is usually the average respritory rate of an adult. additionally the patient is breathing on his own, is clearly maintaining his airway, and is intaking a sufficient amount of air. you shouldn't use a bag valve mask, cpap, or other form of positive pressure ventilation, unless the patient has lost control of his airway, and is not breathing (apneic) or has rapid breathing or slow and shallow respirations. this patient would most likely and should be put on an non-rebreather mask or nrb attached to 100% high flow oxygen at 15 l/min. don't use a nasal cannula, as the amount of oxygen it provides is limited with a rate of 6 l/min.
