Thank you all for your responses. Glad I asked, better to be safe than sorry.

Scenario: An older adult client who is confused, but has a blood draw order. Is it a restraint to take a blanket/sheet and tuck it around their arms to keep the arms from moving? Luckily, when I had this situation, I was able to find some help on the floor from another tech. I know in newborn nursery they do this for babies during circumcision. I was just wondering if this would be considered a restraint on an adult?

I was taught to roll up a towel and practice with that. It'll help you gain control of the knob. Also, eliminate extra noises around you (turn off the tv/radios). It can also help to look for when the nozzle jumps.
