Secure the remaining restraint around the patient working from ______ to ______.

Secure the remaining restraint around the patient working from ______ to ______.

• A. TOE to HEAD
• B. HEAD to TOE
• C. LEFT to RIGHT
• D. RIGHT to LEFT

Answer: (A)

Working from toe to head uses a distal-to-proximal sequence that helps keep the patient stable while you apply restraints. By securing the lower limbs first, you lock the body in place so you can tighten the rest of the restraints without shifting the head or neck. This approach also makes it easier to check circulation and sensation in the extremities as you go, and it gives you final control over head and neck alignment once the other restraints are in place. Securing from the head first can create movement or pressure that could affect the airway or breathing, and it makes it harder to monitor and adjust the rest of the restraints smoothly.
