Restraints must be ordered by aphysician or independent practitioners and cannot exceed 4 hours for adults, 2 hours for 9-17 years of age, and 2 hours for ages 8 or less with the ability tobe renewed up to 24 hours until a face to face examination is done and a new order in place (APA, 2008). In a recent study on adolescents being restrainedthe risk factor for the restrained adolescents were found to be primarily female gender with low psychosocial functioning with more and longer admissionsand concomitant use of pharmacological restraints (Furre et al, 2017). Restraints in the elderly are three times greater related to the higher hospitalizationrate secondary to their affliction by different chronic conditions, along with their higher risk for fall or injury to self or others (Sharifi et al, 2020). Legal andethical consideration for all age groups is of high importance when using restraints of any kind and can have implications to the practitioner if not used withhigh considerations and constant supervision with reevaluation ongoing. Three considerations legally and ethically when using restraint in a setting is thestaff and admitted patients adequately supported and supervised at this time, the numbers of staff working should adequately reflect the number ofadmissions at any given time, and thirdly during the admission process police and psychiatric staff should cooperate to ensure that the admission proceedssafely for staff and patient, and stay until it is established that the referral was appropriate.ReferencesCole, C., Vandamme, A., Bermpohl, F., Czernin, K., Wullschleger, A., & Mahler, L.
