Seclusion and Restraint causes 80% of Nurse Burnout #nurseup #nursefriendly

A crisis can be defined as a moment in time when an individual in your charge loses rational, and at times even physical, control over his or her own behavior. This can be very challenging and anxiety producing for those responsible for intervening. Due to the chaotic, unpredictable nature of a crisis, it is vital that staff stay calm and proceed with a plan. These crisis moments do not sprout into being without roots; there are almost always warning signs that let you know an individual’s behavior is escalating.

When the CODE D buzzer sounds – everyone in the building pauses to hear the instructions and location of the crisis. All available staff start running to the area to assist, as you turn the corner you go into a high alertness to see what is going on and what needs to be done to help.

Staff arrive in groups, usually way more people than would ever be needed to handle a crisis. The client or persons who are having the crisis begin to change levels of behavior by just seeing people arrive. They do not always calm down and regain control just because they are outnumbered – some see it as more of a challenge.
