Let Go? in restraint risk assessment asks you to consider what?

• A. Consider changes in risk.
• B. Consider the people, behavior, and environment.
• C. Team Control Position.
• D. Positioning limbs inside and outside of the limbs/body.

Answer: (A)

Let Go? focuses on how risk evolves in the moment. The key question is whether the level of danger has decreased enough to safely release or reduce restraints without losing control of the situation. This requires watching for signs of de-escalation, safer behavior, and an environment that supports safety, then adjusting the plan accordingly. If risk has not diminished, or if it increases, you maintain or adjust protection to keep everyone safe. The other options relate to general assessment factors or specific restraint techniques, but they don’t capture the essential trigger of Let Go?, which is whether the risk has changed.
