A patient in restraints may show signs of poor what?

When a patient is placed in restraints, one of the primary concerns is the potential impact on their circulation. Restraints can restrict blood flow, particularly if they are too tight or applied improperly. This can lead to a range of complications, including numbness, tingling, or, in severe cases, tissue damage. Monitoring circulation is essential to ensure that patients do not suffer adverse effects from being restrained.

In contrast, while attitude, mobility, and comfort may also be affected by restraints, they do not pose as immediate or critical a health risk as circulation. Maintaining proper circulation is vital for overall health and well-being, making it a crucial aspect of care when managing patients in restraints.
