As an EN (Enrolled Nurse), you have the following legal and professional obligations when caring for a restrained client:
1. Ensure that the use of restraints is justified and necessary, and that it is the least restrictive option available.
2. Obtain informed consent from the client or their legal representative before applying restraints, and document the consent process.
3. Monitor the client's condition and well-being while they are restrained, and ensure that their basic needs are met, such as hydration, nutrition, and toileting.
4. Regularly assess the client's need for continued use of restraints, and document any changes in their condition or behaviour that may warrant a change in the use of restraints.
It is also important to note that the use of restraints should be in accordance with the relevant legislation, policies, and guidelines, and that the client's rights and dignity should be respected at all times.
