Each of the following should be included in the protective stabilization documentation form EXCEPT:

  1. Number of teeth being treated
  2. Type of stabilization method used
  3. Plans for future stabilization approaches
  4. Duration of stabilization during the appointment
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Plans for future stabilization approaches

Protective stabilization (formerly called 'restraint') documentation must include: the rationale and indication for stabilization, the type of device or method used, the duration of its use, the patient's response, the number of teeth treated, the presence of a parent/guardian, and informed consent. Future plans for stabilization are not required documentation components — the form documents what occurred during the current visit, not speculative future approaches. Consent forms address future visits separately.
