11 Least Restrictive Alternatives What does “least restrictive” mean in a psychiatric setting? Can you give an example of escalating interventions from least to most restrictive?

A patient was admitted to a locked mental health unit 5 days ago with paranoid delusions and combative tendencies associated with an exacerbation of schizophrenia. The patient is currently considered an elopement risk but is permitted to leave the unit to attend OT clinic sessions when escorted by a mental health technician. What risk management actions should the COTA take during the patient's scheduled sessions? Choose 3 best options. A. Make certain there are physical restraints available to use if combative behaviors occur. B. Lock the clinic exit doors for the duration of the patient's session. C. Ensure there are no other patients in the immediate clinic area during the patient's session. D. Conduct session activities away from the main doorways of the clinic. E. Inventory supplies prior to the start of the session and before the patient leaves the session. F. Avoid having supplies available that could be used to open door-lock fittings.
