*CMS Guidelines Regarding Restraints: "Generally, if a patient can easily remove a device, the device would not be considered a restraint. In this context, 'easily remove' means that the manual method, device, material, or equipment can be removed intentionally by the patient in the same manner as it was applied by the staff, considering the patient's physical condition and ability to accomplish the objective.
