Abstract
Over the past 2 decades, great advances have been made in reducing the use of physical restraints in health care facilities. In this article, misconceptions and facts related to restraint use are reviewed and restraint reduction strategies are presented. Although all those involved in health care are called to carefully evaluate restraint use, medical-surgical nurses can take the lead in changing restraint practices in the acute care workplace.
