To determine the correct circumstance under which a nursing assistant should use a restraint, let's analyze the provided options: 1. **Resident needs to be punished for refusing to follow the rules.** - This option is inappropriate. Restraints should never be used as a form of punishment. 2. **Resident needs to be protected from harming himself or others, and all other methods of keeping the person safe have failed.** - This option is appropriate. Restraints may be used as a last resort when a resident poses a risk to themselves or others, and all other interventions have been exhausted. 3. **Nursing assistant is very busy and cannot devote more time to calming an agitated resident.** - This option is also inappropriate. Restraints should not be used simply because the nursing assistant is busy; patient safety and dignity must always come first. Based on this analysis, the correct response is: **Resident needs to be protected from harming himself or others, and all other methods of keeping the person safe have failed.** This option aligns with ethical guidelines and best practices in nursing care regarding the use of restraints.
