Thank you for sharing, whew, my first post :) I too at first thought the request was an odd one Inde3d. after hearing from him, it made sense to me. The charge nurse warned that they may not be able to hit the call button, so I had to make notations every 20 minutes and ask the patient if he wanted me to take them off

Newbie here and i had a patient comes into the ER with pancreatic pain due to inflammation. patient suffers from anxiety and must IC every 4 hrs due to nerogentic bladder. While treating for pain, patient informed us that he has a tendency to pull out his foley and has requested that we place him in hand mitts. His reasoning was that while medicated he would be less likely to cause himself any undo pain or destress. What would you do with a request such as this. Never heard of anyone wanting to be placed in restraints
