ED patient's suicide is wake-up call: are you putting psychiatric patients at risk?
Full Abstract
Psychiatric patients require expedited care, quiet areas, and other measures to reduce risks. Restraint use can be reduced by having staff attend a training course. Remember that a psychiatric patient's triage status may change, so monitor for worsening agitation or anxiety. Avoid placing psychiatric patients in a remote area, since they need continuous observation.
