Section 859-200-0120 - Use of Restraints
Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 3, March 1, 2024
(1) The Board prefers to have patients appear at hearings without physical restraints. If, in the judgment of the person's physician, the patient might need restraining, the Board prefers to have staff attending the hearing with the patient rather than use of physical restraints. However, the final decision on use of restraints lies with the physician.
(2) Any attorney objecting to the patient appearing with restraints at the hearing may raise the issue and ask for testimony from the physician regarding the necessity for use of restraints.
