I agree. It's why I used the term 'tied down', so that people know that the furniture trip is on a par with it. The problem is that it is tricky to look after such patients with the current resources that a lot of places have (one of the reasons why I supported the nursing ratio petition). If you have 30 wanderers and 2 nurses then I can see why they do it, even if it's ethically on wobbly ground. When does 'safety' become 'restraint'. Consider cot-sides to beds. But yes, I don't like it.
