I know that Best Practice says that no restraints or seclusion are to be used. In our hospital, we are currently drafting a new policy on Least Restraint. I would value hearing what other institutions are doing in this area. If you are not using any restraints or seclusion, how do you handle the aggressive, violent and psychotic patient. Please also include whether or not your unit is locked; in a psychiatric institution or in a general hospital.
Many thanks,
