Identifying a Practice Problem in Need of Improvement: excessive use of restraints and seclusion in mental health children and adolescents

Consider your current practice setting ( current practice setting is a mental and behavioral health facility for children and adolescents) and think about something specific and relevant to your practice setting that you would like to see improved or changed.

Identify a measurable patient-centered practice problem ( excessive use of restraints and seclusion) related to quality or safety and relevant to your practice setting and post a brief description of the problem and an explanation of why you selected it. Explain how the conversation you had with the key leader in your practice setting impacted your decision to address this particular practice problem. Be sure to support your practice problem with the literature that indicates the relevance of this problem for nursing practice.
