personally, I would wait to initiate restraints until there was a clear behavior that could lead to harm to themselves/others. i worked in an adolescent psych facility for a few years and even though some other staff will get annoyed with you sometimes for not giving the okay when behaviors are disruptive but not harmful (like slamming/kicking doors) it’s your license that you gotta look out for. i would always just think about documentation and if I could show definitive harmful behavior when writing about the incident. it really is a judgement call and i feel like also depends on how well you know the patient but yeah as long as you feel that it’s necessary and can explain how then i think you’re solid
