The facility gets a different mark in that case. And they can always blame the patient.

In the old days you could drug or strap down people who were known hazards to themselves. Of course that was abused so it is illegal now. M considers that the good old days. She's my Nurse Ratchet.

You are not allowed to do that anymore. Even crazy demented old people are allowed to refuse medication and you certainly can't strap them down.

It takes serious repeated violence to get a patient into a lockdown unit where a nurse can jab you with a needle and put you to sleep.

At the same time, beyond it being the right thing to do to rush in and catch the guy, she risks her nurse's license if she didn't do it.
