In CPI, what is the purpose of conducting a thorough post-incident review focused on injuries?
Answer: To identify what occurred, why, and how to prevent recurrence
Post-incident reviews aim to understand the sequence of events and drive systemic improvements to prevent future injuries.
Which of the following is a known risk factor for excited delirium during a restraint, increasing injury and death risk?
Answer: Stimulant drug intoxication combined with physical exertion
Excited delirium is associated with stimulant use, extreme agitation, and physical exertion, creating a dangerous metabolic crisis during restraint.
A 16-year-old student with autism spectrum disorder requires physical intervention. What additional injury precaution should staff consider?
Answer: Account for possible sensory sensitivities, communication differences, and medical comorbidities
Individuals with ASD may have sensory sensitivities and medical factors that require modified approaches to prevent harm during intervention.
Which documentation element is MOST important for tracking injury patterns and improving future safety?
Answer: Detailed description of hold types used, duration, and observed reactions
Accurate documentation of hold types, duration, and reactions enables trend analysis and targeted injury prevention improvements.
What is the significance of 'therapeutic rapport' in CPI's injury prevention framework?
Answer: It reduces the likelihood of crisis escalation, decreasing the need for physical intervention
Strong therapeutic rapport lowers crisis escalation risk, which directly reduces the frequency of physical interventions and associated injuries.
Which environmental modification is a proactive injury prevention strategy supported by CPI?
Answer: Removing or padding hazards in areas where individuals in crisis may be managed
Removing or padding environmental hazards reduces the risk of injury when individuals or staff move rapidly during a crisis.
In CPI, what is the recommended response when a staff member sustains an injury during a physical intervention?
Answer: Report the injury immediately, receive medical evaluation, and complete incident documentation
Immediate reporting, medical evaluation, and documentation ensure proper care and create a record for trend analysis and prevention.
