Question is somewhat unclear. What specific information is being sought?

A definition of the term 'physical restraint' would be - 'the force necessary to curtail or limit the movements, or limit the physical actions of, an individual.' In law enforcement terminology it is usually used to describe a physical custody situation.

Chemical restraint would probably refer to OC spray, "Mace," tear gas, or similar commercially available product that temporarily disables a struggling or resisting individual so that they may be taken into physical custody.

Psychological restraint, when used in this context, has no meaning or application. Psychological restraint implies that restraint which is self-imposed by the person themselves.

Let's define the terms first as they apply in health care situations.

  • Physical restraint includes holding someone down against their will; tying a person with cloth or soft restraints; or 4-point hard restraints.
  • Chemical restraint uses medication to quiet, sedate, or make unconscious a patient solely for the purposes of controlling or restricting their activity or ability to speak. This includes drugging until a person is incoherent or delirious, hallucinating, etc.
  • Psychological restraint is using one's power or authority to inflict fear or intimidation to make the person do what the professional wants.
There are numerous legal ramifications for of these, including a charge of a personal tort or even physical assault and patient abuse. Patients have the right to disagree, even loudly, to control their bodies and minds, and to be treated as an autonomous individual even if the patient is a child (psychological abuse). The main difference is with physican ordered soft or hard restraint, which must be in writing, and is generally only used for patient safety and for a short time only.

What is the chemical name for C6H10?

This depends on the way the molecule is structured. A condensed formula can have several isomers, each with a different name. If it's an alkyne A linear C6H10 formula will be called Hexine (No ramifications and the triple bond between the first and the second carbon) Depending on the placement of the ramifications and the triple bond it can be called by names such as 4-methyl-2-pentyne. Note: C6H10 can also be an alkene, resulting in an -ene termination.

What is the chemical equation for nuclear fission?

It is not a chemical reaction! You can write U-235, with atomic number 92, plus a neutron, produces two fission product nuclei (which can be various combinations) plus two or three free neutrons. The limitations of notation on this site does not allow to show this properly. If you look up nuclear fission in Wikipedia you will see how such a reaction is written.


How do you make fishing sustainable?

The most important thing to make fishing sustainable is to practice good conservation and preservation techniques. A big threat to lakes and streams is overfishing and people disobeying the catch limitations. Another threat is people fishing disobeying size limitations and maximums. Helping preserve an environment and ecosystem is crucial to sustaining fish. Water pollution, chemical runoff, and illegal fishing techniques will kill a great fishing location.
