What is the safest alternative to prone (face-down) restraint recommended by CPI to reduce asphyxia risk?
Answer: Side-lying restraint without chest compression
Side-lying restraint reduces chest compression and aspiration risk compared to prone positioning.
A staff member notices their colleague applying a hold that compresses the individual's neck. What is the correct CPI response?
Answer: Verbally redirect the colleague and adjust the hold immediately
Immediate verbal redirection and hold adjustment is required because neck compression poses an acute risk of serious injury or death.
Which factor in the individual's history should be assessed BEFORE any physical intervention to minimize injury risk?
Answer: History of trauma, medical conditions, or prior injuries
Prior trauma, medical vulnerabilities, and injuries directly affect which interventions are safe and appropriate.
An individual in a restraint begins gasping for air. What is the FIRST action staff should take?
Answer: Release the hold and call for medical assistance immediately
Signs of respiratory distress require immediate release of the hold and emergency medical response to prevent serious injury or death.
Which CPI concept helps staff recover psychologically after a traumatic physical intervention?
Answer: Secondary Traumatic Stress debriefing
CPI acknowledges secondary traumatic stress and recommends structured debriefing and support to help staff process and recover from difficult incidents.
How does proper hydration and physical fitness of staff relate to injury prevention in CPI?
Answer: It reduces fatigue-related errors and improves physical capacity during interventions
Well-conditioned, hydrated staff are less likely to fatigue and make technique errors that cause injury during physical interventions.
What does CPI mean by 'least restrictive intervention' in the context of injury prevention?
Answer: Choosing the intervention with the lowest risk of harm that still ensures safety
Least restrictive intervention means selecting the safest, lowest-risk option that effectively manages the immediate safety need.
