Abstract
A mandatory tobacco cessation policy was established on an inpatient psychiatric unit. The numbers of negative behavioral indicators (physical/verbal agitation, use of PRN medications, restraints, isolation, and calls to security) were identified and analyzed to determine if there were significant differences before and after the policy was established.
