§ 76329. Developmental Program Services--Application of Restraints.
(5) Physical restraints shall be designed and used in such a way as not to cause physical injury to the client and to insure the least possible discomfort to the clients. Opportunity for motion and exercise shall be provided for a period of not less than 10 minutes during each 2 hours in which restraint is applied. The exercise periods shall be documented in the client's record.
(2) Psychotropic or behavior-modifying drugs shall be used only as an integral part of an individual program plan that is designed by an interdisciplinary team to lead to a less restrictive way of managing, and ultimately to the elimination of, the behaviors for which the drugs are employed. Each program plan utilizing a psychotropic drug:
(A) Shall specify the behavior to be modified, a time-limited (no more than 30 days) prescription by a physician, and the data that are to be collected in order to assess progress toward the treatment objective. Orders for psychotropic drugs shall include the indication for use and shall be in force for no more than 30 days without a physician's written renewal order for each 30-day period. Each renewal order shall include written justification by the physician for the continued use of the drug.
