The numbers highlight the success: Physical restraint use in nursing facilities has declined nearly 50 percent during the past three years--from 40 percent in 1989 to 22 percent in 1992--according to federal statistics. These figures are the clearest sign that restraint reduction efforts are working. But the challenge is not over yet, as providers struggle to bring restraint numbers down even further and make restraint alternatives the standard of care.
根据联邦统计数据，在过去三年里，护理机构中身体约束的使用下降了近50%——从1989年的40%降至1992年的22%。这些数据是减少约束措施正在起作用的最明显迹象。但挑战尚未结束，因为提供者仍在努力进一步降低约束使用数量，并使替代约束措施成为护理标准。
