Physical restraint is described as mechanical or personal restriction that immobilizes or reduces the ability of an individual to move his or her arms, legs, or head freely, not including devices … for the purpose of conducting routine physical examinations or tests or to protect the resident from falling out of bed or to permit the resident to participate in activities without the risk of physical harm to the resident … ." (P. L. 106-310, 2000, pp. 1195-1196).
Chemical restraint is the use of a drug or medication not part of a person's usual medical regimen that is administered to control behavior or restrict freedom of movement.

A preterm neonate is being supported with nasal SiPAP
The baseline CPAP level is set at 6 cm H2O, the high CPAP level at 10 cm H2O, the rate is 20 "sigh" breaths, and the FIO2 is 0.8. The baby's PaO2 on these settings has been steadily declining and is now 48 mm Hg. The physician and respiratory therapist decided to use nasal HFV before intubating and using mechanical ventilation. The initial settings for NHFV for this patient should include which of the following? a. MAP = 10 cm H2O; frequency = 8 Hz; FIO2 = 1.0 b. MAP = 10 cm H2O; frequency = 10 Hz; FIO2 = 0.8 c. MAP = 6 cm H2O; frequency = 8 Hz; FIO2 = 0.8 d. MAP = 6 cm H2O; frequency = 10 Hz; FIO2 = 1.0
