Abstract
Physical restraint use (PR) is been a controversial practice occurring in nursing. Research supports that nurses decide whether or not to restrain a patient with a physician's verbal order often obtained after PR initiation. Therefore, nursing's role in PR use and its impact on the clinical environment needs to be examined.
