Show answer and explanation

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.
