===Post emergency restraint requirements===
If restraints have been used in an emergency situation, after that emergency the Operator is required to talk with and provide “information and advice” to the resident who was restrained, anyone who witnessed the restraint’s use, as well as any employee involved in the restraint.([[{{PAGENAME}}#References|4243]]) This “information and advice” is to be documented in the resident’s care plan.([[{{PAGENAME}}#References|4344]])
The regulations also set out a stringent process of reassessment of the need for the restraints. If restraints are used longer than 24 hours or continuously, the Operator must:
* have agreement in writing from the resident or their representative, if applicable and
* the medical practitioner or nurse practitioner responsible for the resident’s health care. ([[{{PAGENAME}}#References|4445]])
