To determine if something is being used as a restraint, the BEST question to ask yourself is: "Can the person remove it when they want to, and can the person remove it if you ask them to?" This question focuses on the key aspect of restraint, which is the ability of the individual to remove the device freely and upon request. If the person can't remove the device independently or when asked to, then it is likely being used as a restraint. It is important to consider the autonomy and freedom of the individual in such situations. Restraints should only be used when absolutely necessary for safety reasons, and the person should be able to remove them easily when they choose to do so. This question helps ensure that the use of any device is not restricting the person's movement or rights unnecessarily.
