Elbow restraints are prescribed for an 18-
month-old toddler who just
had surgery for a cleft palate.
The nurse explains to the
parents that the restraints are
used to keep the child from
doing what?
1
Playing with
unsterile toys 2
Rolling to a supine
position Correct 3
Putting fingers into
the mouth 4
Removing the nasogastric tube
The suture lines in the mouth must be
protected. Because the
toddler uses the mouth to
explore the environment,
elbow restraints are needed
to keep the child
from placing fingers or
objects in the mouth. The
child should have time to play
with toys, but with supervision
to prevent mouthing activities
that could disrupt the suture
line. The supine position is
acceptable; the toddler
should be able to move freely
when asleep. A nasogastric
tube is not used.
