  • 1.  Pediatric psych patient wristband help

    Posted 12-10-2024 07:46 AM

    Hello!!

    my children's emergency is currently having a struggle with placing wristbands on the psych patient population. The kids seem to bite them off, rip them off, eat them… does anyone have a better idea as far as placing wrist bands on psych patients? 

    thanks in advance!

    Put them on an ankle- harder to chew off. This is what I have seen in past.
