Placement in a locked unit must be based on what determination?

  1. Determination by the family members of the resident

  2. Determination that it is the least restrictive environment consistent with the resident's needs

  3. Determination by the resident's friends

  4. Determination by the facility's staff

The correct answer is: Determination that it is the least restrictive environment consistent with the resident's needs

Placement in a locked unit must be based on the determination that it is the least restrictive environment consistent with the resident's needs. This is in line with the ethical principles and regulations governing long-term care facilities that emphasize the importance of preserving the dignity and autonomy of residents while ensuring their safety and well-being. Family members, friends, or facility staff may provide input, but ultimately, the decision should prioritize the resident's individual needs and rights.
